Have you ever questioned yourself, "Why the 'Delete' button doesn't delete your files, but they're sent to the Recycle Bin, and can be restored whenever you want them to?".
Find it silly? Yes, it really is. But on second thought, doesn't it apply to us, humans too? At times, we choose to forget something, no matter how hard is it, we force ourselves to do so. Things that we 'manually' wanna forget are usually those which we do not hope to recall them anymore. Why? Because we would never want to fall down at the very same spot twice in life. It's as simple as it is. Hence, we will normally try to be as busy as a bee, hoping that at the very next second, those memories will no longer exist in our mind.
Sooner or later, yes, we really get to forget them. We wouldn't think about them before we sleep or right after we wake up. We can sing, dance, laugh and enjoy life like the rest. But it doesn't mean that they're forever 'deleted' from our mind. They are just sealed in a jar, safely guarded by a little fairy. ( Oh well, I'm only trying to put things easier for you to picture it. ) When nothing triggers them, they remain still, waiting for the day where we'll be strong enough to open the jar, recalling every tiny bits of them.
But the problem is, when do we have the courage to open the sealed jar of memories? Or I should say, how many of us actually have the courage to do so, knowing that we may not be as strong as we think we are?
