Memories & Morpheus

There is this one thing that I like about Lotus Notes. It doesn't expect you to be grammatically correct, although it does a spell check but it is a relief from MS WORD where you have to really fight for it when it comes to the grammar part. The sad thing though is that Lotus Notes lacks auto spell correct options which could really save some time.
To be really truthful don't know where the saved time is going to be invested in. since I am sitting alone at night again and trying to focus on the thoughts which are holding me back from sleep.
I remember my last post and it was also at night, the irony about these posts though is that they really represent only a minuscule part of the actual chunk of the thought one originally had in their mind. By the time the computer actually boots up and the application you use decides to open up half of the thoughts have already vanished into the thin air or the blinking cursor.

Well isn't it just the mind playing tricks on you? to try and establish your original thought is a sisyphean task on its own. That just goes on to prove how fickle memory can actually be... sometimes the things that hurt become things we think and laugh about, and then some moments where we actually were happy but now when they come to mind they bring nothing but tears. And then there are memories which gave pain then and still give pain today, the only difference is the nature of it.

Well too much on memories, but what I really wanted to speak of is the ironic nature of it all. I believe one of the most important traits or abilities if you can call it that for us homo sapiens is the ability to forget. However much one prides themselves in their ability to remember the smallest details, it is the ability to forget that creates the strength to go another yard. It is the ability to forget that makes us survive amidst this chaos that life is. How we forget, the girl who made us go weak in the knees or how we forget what one had for dinner last Tuesday 365 days ago, because we might never have something as tasty again or we might never get another glance from that girl,but it is our ability to forget that makes us eat another dish or dream for another glance. For the "new" is where the future is ...where the key to our lives may be. It is surprising how god created this natural thing within us..that makes us live and hope.

Let this post of mine be a homage to forgetting .. a step towards forgiveness and life as a whole....
funnily I have forgotten that I wasn't able to sleep a few minutes back ... morpheus beckons me for another night with beautiful dreams...dreams I am going to forget but they will make me smile nevertheless

biggest tool anybody wants..somethin that can erase those hurting memories alone..but then with everything sitting inside us..we are a versatile machine not knowing where the actuator for that tool is!! so forgetting is the closest to that one can get..Blessed are those who can forget the nonsense and remember the specials...and cursed are the others :-)
