Sweet Sad Memories

Why is it that I can forget so many past events and memories? Why is it that I can remember the happy one that produces negative feelings? Why is it that I cant remember the faces and names of the guys from Leopard Company (Army) whom I spent 3 months with back in July - Sep 2001? How is that I can forget all the fun and tortures army training or even childhood memories and yet I can remember how the painful recollection of lost love? not that i comparing the both of them. I have no answers.

Maybe we are wired to be addicted to pain that love brings. Which is why people fall in love. We like the pain that love brings and the potential rewards it has. Love is like a coin. It works or it doesnt. It brings pain or it may bring happiness. Heck, over the years several people have told me this.. "William Why is think so much? Got Bf/GF can break? Married can divorced?".. I never thought of it all that much. And as i think back.. there is truth in their words. Love ant what it use to be. It ant like my grand parnets or parnets time. I look around and i hear and see countless cases of divorce cases. Its saddening.

back to memories...

They say recollection of love lost is bittersweet and that we should always treasure these memories. I have 2 of such memories. one was sweet and yet I dont feel as bitter when thinking back. The other was sweeter cause I held that person in my arms. That 2nd feeling seems like forever and it sure hurts as hell. Why does it have to end? Why did we have to fight? Why is it that ppl ask so much from each other when love shouldnt be demanding?
Why do i have to cling onto such memories when i can forget so many others? Why is it that i can forget her number just by visualising that picture? why is it that i cant forget that feeling?

When this was written in the bible:

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not selfseeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

I think the Man up there who spoke to the person who wrote these, should have taken a closer look at us and know that we can only strive to achive this. We are imperfect and that we are easily swayed when in love. We do crazy things, like clinging on to the past.
