Summary

This quote suggests that having a bad memory can be advantageous because it allows one to experience and appreciate the same good things multiple times as if they were experiencing them for the first time. From this perspective, forgetting aspects of past positive experiences allows individuals to relish in the joy, excitement, and novelty that these experiences bring, repeatedly rediscovering the happiness they originally felt. In a way, the quote highlights the potential positive side of having a forgetful mind.
