The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same

Summary

This quote suggests that having a bad memory can be advantageous because it allows individuals to experience the joy and novelty of good things repeatedly. With each encounter, it feels like a fresh and new experience. Unlike those with good memories, who may remember every detail and gradually lose the initial thrill, individuals with bad memories can continuously relish the excitement and pleasure of these positive moments. It highlights the idea that forgetting and embracing the present can bring about a renewed appreciation for the joys in life.
