Recycle Bin

The “Recycle Bin” is undoubtedly a very common term in a computer. Those no longer wanted files/pictures/songs/documents that we have deleted will end up in the Recycle Bin. Then we can sentenced those items to death --- delete permanently from our computer hard disk. It’s simply convenient and easy, isn’t it?!

Ever wonder what if there’s a Recycle Bin in our brain?? Where we can delete certain incident(s)/people permanently from our memory…how nice it would be?! We remember not a bit of the incidents that we chose to “delete”. Usually these incidents are those that cause big impact on our life and our self. We might have been hurt tremendously, either physically or mentally, which would leave incurable psychological effects in our heart and our mind for life long. This is seemingly like “invisible assaulting” that no other party(s) can understand thoroughly, including the professional psychologists.

Let’s take the most recent example --- those people who survived the 26th December 2005 Tsunami. Most of them are still living in fear and anxiety, going through sleepless nights due to depressions, waking up crying in the middle of the night from nightmares that haunt them endlessly etc. Some of them are still surrounded by corpses, which might be their beloved one, neighbours and friends. These feelings are unbearable. I bet any homo sapiens would undergone hysterical or turned insane under this circumstances!

Other examples which I can think of are sexually assaulted victims, ex-hostages, war victims, (dump by bf/gf??) and many more. All these people have gone through certain level of physical and mental tortures, which they would rather not at all remember it than carry it in their memories/heart for the rest of their life.

Therefore, it would be the best to erase all these painful memories from the brain :) We can start a new life from here onwards, towards a better tomorrow. Meanwhile, by erasing all these unwanted yet unbeneficial memories, we are actually providing more empty spaces in our brain for other purposes, e.g. study --- memorize formulas, facts, definitions *arrggghhhh, I just hate doing this b-(*

P/s: Guys and girls, please kindly ignore my advice on brain purpose for studying :)) Instead, jam your brain spaces with more lengzais/lengluis images…muahahhahahaha :p
