A good memory is a blessing, but if it is too good, it is not a blessing. There are things we ought to remember, and other things that is our duty to forget.
Train your mind to forget all the iron words, all gossip and slander, all unkind look, and the invitation you did not get. Forget the seeming carelessness of those who love you; they are often too busy or too tired to do all you desire.
Forget unpleasant things. Be carrying them in your mind, you make it a chamber of horror. Do not allow the wreckage of a month or a year to fill your mind with mental junk.
Train your memory to store good things only, and forget that which can hurt yourself and others
Cherish the fond memory of all that makes you grow, but sink and love all trace of the bad things you know
taken from,
Don Bosco's Madonna
