Choosing to forget something might take more mental effort than trying to remember it, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin discovered through neuroimaging. These findings, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, suggest that in order to forget an unwanted experience, more attention should be focused on it. This surprising result extends prior research on intentional forgetting, which focused on reducing attention to the unwanted information through redirecting attention away from unwanted experiences or suppressing the memory's retrieval.

We always try to remember things.
Without realizing that by doing that we forget what we knew.
There is no point to try to remember anything.
Just let go and you will feel it.
What you know is part of you already.
The cosmos is here and now.
Try to remember where you came from.
And you will immediately forget that you are already there…
