Delete and Forget

To effectively forget something you'd have to delete it from your mind.

Just imagine or better yet, think of your mind being a row of filing cabinets. You can opt to go high-tech and picture them as file folders in a computer screen with the title My Documents. A folder for Math, a folder for Literature, a folder for Morning Routine and so on and so on. There's nothing to worry anyways about the lack of disk space - your mind can hold terrabytes and quadrabytes - byteless amounts of data. Memory loss is however something to be weary about, as it does not function at 100 percent efficieny. But let's not delve into that.

So let's say you have this folder named Faces. Picture your mind accessing that folder, pointing the cursor on the faces you hate or dislike or just find plain ugly and useless - right click - delete. There never was a subroutine as "Forget" in the first place. Sometimes if you're equipped with the latest updates, you could choose to Incinerate your files. But it doesn't end there. Then imagine that face that you chose, being crumpled, being shredded, or being abracadabraed and vanishing into pieces. That would allow you to forget that face effectively.

Once your done, you could close the folder, close My Documents, point your mouse to Start and click on Shut Down.

At last, the mind can sleep.
