I still don’t think a bad memory is something to be grateful for. Your last point is about perspective rather than memory. I completely agree that grudges are a waste of time and I don’t hold them. But it is to do with perspective, not memory. I need to vent when something annoys me but once I’m done, I put it behind me. I don’t need to hold on to it. This is more akin to forgiveness than remembering, I think. My memory is precious to me but I agree with you that that it is only because I have it. If I didn’t know I didn’t remember, I would not lament it. I see your point and that you are trying to put a positive spin on something normally seen as negative. I’m just not sure I agree with your argument.
