Memory

Yesterday I've watched Donnie Darko on TV. Apart from how good the movie is one part of it stuck in my mind. It is the part when they are proposing an system to create early memory in kids and the teacher asks: and if the we need that darkness in our early childhood to allow our development? And I think that the ability to forget is actually important. I have a very good memory of my life and in fact in not being able to forget mistakes from the past and go over and over them sometimes is a daunting thing.
