I happen to accidentally open a site with a research about a drug that can eliminate traumatic memory from a person. Then I remember a phrase which is often mentioned just lately in some of my conservations - selective amnesia. The free dictionary online defined (in toto) selective amnesia as an “amnesia about particular events that is very convenient for the person who cannot remember”. Furthermore, there is also this posthypnotic amnesia which is a “selective amnesia after being in a hypnotic state of events occurring during hypnosis or of information designated by the hypnotist”. These made me smile and thought of how the brains of those people who are in this kind of amnesia are working.
This state is advantageous when you met a traumatic experience or a disagreeable person (perhaps?) in your life and you want to just forget all about it. But when it comes to friends? I doubt. For me, friends are the siblings that God forget to give me. I am this so idealistic when it comes to friendship. No matter what happen, true friends will always be with me. Our communication may wane out for some time due to certain circumstances but for sure I won’t forget a person who has been a part of who I am now in just a snap of a finger. I am just so curious what’s really going on in these beings that I considered my friends (whom I assume considers me as a friend, too J) that they seem to have selective (posthypnotic) amnesia on me…Is it really a choice? And why me? Or is it because of posthypnotic amnesia incurred by a sort of effective hypnotist? I don’t have the answers for now but I believe answers will be revealed in His most perfect time.
I’d rather get back to my data…
