Having all your memories of something good wiped completely is better than never being allowed to experience it again.

EDIT: I don't think I conveyed what I meant well enough in the post. I was talking about something like, say, reading. It's my favorite hobby. If I was forced to never read again, I'd be absolutely miserable. But if I completely forgot about reading, there wouldn't exactly be anything to miss.

I actually found a genie and wished to forget beautiful memories that I'd never experience again.

The pictures of my wedding looked nice, and I sure looked happy when my son was born. Kinda feel like I'd made a bad wish.

This just makes me even more curious to know what you were up to during the infamous Three Days.

That actually sounds like SonicShowerThoughts.

Meh. I'd like to wipe those with my ex, but never those i've experienced with friends and family. Or my cats.

Wiping all good memories means you're left with bad one, that's one step closer to suicide.

Strongly disagree. The memories themselves are nice. We should be able to remember the past for it's own sake, without worrying about the future and what it will involve.

I think one should remember the happy moments to know what's possible. If you've been there before, the place exists and you can get there again.
