When we forget…
Isn’t it frustrating when you forget something? Simple things, important things, natural things, unpleasant things…and it doesn’t even have to be due to one’s aging process. Forgetting can be useful sometimes, yes; I mean, who wants to remember embarrassing, unpleasant, hurtful, negative experiences?But WHY do we forget though? Is it because of Old age? Wealth and Privilege/Superiority complex? Hate? Belief of Entitlement? Personal choice? Medical defect?
?When we forget simple things, we may feel frustrated, and the result of our error may be mild. We could try to avoid a repeat of the mistake by doing things to help remind ourselves (e.g. writing things down, asking someone to remind us, putting an alarm note on our phone, etc). But when we forget important things, there may be dire consequences.
When we forget that we should be loving each other, not squabbling about material things (like money, land, etc), then there’s WAR. When we forget that we are all equal (in the sight of GOD), then there’s OPPRESSION. When we forget that adults have a responsibility to guide and protect all children (as we were/should have also been guided and protected as children ourselves), then there’s ABUSE. Sadly, the list goes on…
I have to remind myself of so much sometimes, that I still forget one or two things. LOL! Old age perhaps? But I don’t want to forget the important things. If respect, love and appreciation is what we want for ourselves, then we should appreciate that it’s what others would want for themselves too. So, please, let us not forget…
Blessings everyone!

Unfortunately, some people never learn to respect, love, and appreciate, so they can't forget that was never taught.
And I would add that, these are aspects that every human being has a strong innate desire for (from infancy even), so we're naturally aware of their existence, even if we may not show them to others.
It seems to be a matter of 'Choice'....
I'm kinda agree with what Friendshipfever said.
Hmm, now I forget what she said.
Anyways, I want to tell you my opinion, and that is uh, eh,
Heck, I can't 'member what I was going to say here.
Oh well.
