Memory

“From the kinds of harm occasioned by the apprehensions of the memory, we can also determine the opposite benefits that come from forgetting them; as the philosopher says: The doctrine for one thing serves also to the contrary…People would never lose their tranquility if they were to forget ideas and lay aside their thoughts…Our nature is so unstable and fragile than even when well disciplined it will hardly fail to stumble on thoughts with the memory. And these thoughts become a disturbance to a soul that was residing in peace and tranquility through the forgetfulness of all. As a result, Jeremiah proclaimed: *With the memory I shall remember, and my soul will faint in me with sorrow*. [Lam 3-20]
~ St. John of Cross, The Ascent of Mount Carmel (Chapter 6)
