25 IT’S A GOOD THING THAT PEOPLE FORGET

Forgetting things seems to be such a problem. At best it’s annoying (“Where did I put my keys?”), and at worst it can send the wrong people to prison with inaccurate eyewitness testimonies. It’s actually not a flaw. Think about all the sensory inputs and experiences you have every minute, every day, every year, and throughout your lifetime. If you remembered every single thing, you’d be unable to function; you have to forget some things.
