Answer:
pros of not forgetting
-the memory could have been positive- can be used to complete tasks - learning point - acceptance of reality - the ability to experience loss - the ability to be human and recognize mistakes
cons of not forgetting
- negative memory bringing on negative emotions
Explanation:
This is a philosophical question more so than a social studies question. However the answer is derived from humanity itself. Quoting Aristotle, "Memory is the scribe of the soul." If one were to simply forget the hardships or positives they experienced, they would lose a large part of what makes them human, and makes up their soul. There are pros of living in a fantasy land, only remembering the good times, however if one detaches themselves from reality, they will inevitably lose sight of their relationships, their life, and eventually their sanity.
