I kid you not. Scientist are working on a new pill that can, in some sense, “may make the resulting memories less painful and intense.” Word…..that’s a thought…..
Of course this pill doesn’t yet exist, but like they say, they’re working on it.
So how about it? If given the choice would you take this pill?
I wouldn’t say that I’m totally against the making of this pill, but I definitely don’t think it’s necessary.
Things happen to us for a reason and each event or chapter in our life is a learning experience. It’s these experiences that help us grow and mature.
Life lessons teach us what we should and shouldn’t be doing, and how if ever we were to encounter these experience again, would go about it. If these memories were to ever be erased from one’s memories, aren’t we are bound to repeat history again. We just would never learn.
Sure.... sometimes I wish I could forget certain moments in my life, like an ex or the day I lost my top at the beach (that’s another story another time) where it’s just better to be forgotten, or at least have the memories be numbed. But then again if it wasn’t for moments like those, the pain (or humiliation) I wouldn’t have learned anything. I wouldn’t know what qualities I should or shouldn’t be looking for in that next (ahem victim) special prospective male friend, or know that I can no longer wear a certain too small bathing suit…… |
