It's convenient to forget them, so people forget them.

Others find value in forgetting.

"It's easy to forget"? I think most people can't help but think of that every time they look at it.

Maybe the ones who developed Alzheimers forgot.

"It's a human superpower, forgetting. If you remembered how things felt, you'd have stopped having wars. And stopped having babies."

Trust me, people forget everything.

This. People forget so quickly...

justinjlynn | karma 3893 | avg karma 4.04 · | 2018-03-14 23:30:01+00:00

That's probably true but it seems so easy for people to forget.

I doubt “forget” as much as a difficult truth no one wants to think about.

those that forget history...

For most people "forgetting" is a valuable phenomenon. There are lots of minor injuries and torts which are better off forgotten than recalled. Doesn't even have to be things other people did to you, but things you did yourself while learning.

And so they forget about it.

Often I don’t think it is as much “forgetting” but more getting behind the events to the extent they don’t properly assess / understand the situation and then make poor choices and it is too late.

No, some set of people will forget. Even if they intended or desired to remember. Mental notes fade for some set of people. And at different time lengths.
