Forgive n forget...

how many times in ur life have u heard this ??? Hundreds of times... ???

Is it really possible to make urself forget something in life ??? My understanding of memory is that I don't have control over what I can erase from it... I kno I can work towards adding stuff to it, but I don't know how to work towards forgetting... How did this phrase originate ??? Did someone practice and preach or is it one of the millions of adivices ppl have for others...

I've tried forgiving a few times... And have succeeded in some instances... But forgetting... Hmmm.... I've never got a hang of how to do that...

looks like I need help... :)
