Summary

This quote suggests that there are certain memories or experiences that are so unpleasant or detrimental that it is better to let go of them rather than constantly recalling them. Dwelling on negative or harmful memories can be unproductive and detrimental to one's mental well-being. It serves as a reminder that there is no benefit in holding onto things that only bring pain or regret, and instead, it is healthier to focus on positive experiences and to let go of those that do not contribute positively to our lives.
