Never Forget

There is nothing more dangerous than forgetting. As history has taught us, forgetting means repeating. Some things we want to forget. Some thing we can't forget. Then there are those things we remember forever because we have to. We have to remember them, because they made us who we are - they've literally spun together the fabric of our lives. Whether we regret them or regret what we've done or regret not doing it better and harder; whether we hated them or loved them; whether they did us great evil or great good–forgetting them would be like forgetting ourselves. They are us. The experiences are us. We must keep them in our minds, always in front, never forgetting and let it be fuel for our future actions. That is remembrance, memorial. It is Myosotis. . . both an enemy and a friend.

And yet, God chooses to forget . . . as far as the East is from the West. He forgets. Our every action is failure . . . and He chooses to forget.
