Summary

This quote suggests that forgetting something could stem from two possibilities: either the event never occurred, or the person intentionally chooses to deny its existence due to a desire to erase it from their memory.

Ultimately, it hints at the complexity of human recollection and the factors that can shape our perceptions of past events.
