A
Every one of us has been hurt by others – either by their words or actions. In those moments, you may feel so much anger that you want to hurt the other person too.
But we all know that revenge(报复) doesn’t get us anywhere. So, in order to live a happy life, the best way to deal with the problem is, perhaps, as the old saying goes, to “forgive and forget”.
The wisdom of this saying has even been proven in scientific studies. “It is well established that learning to forgive others can have positive benefits for one’s physical and mental Health,”Saima Noreen, a scientist at the University of St Andrews, Uk, told the Huffington Post.
And now, Noreen and her research team may have found one more reason that you should stick to this principle – forgiving somebody who has hurt you makes it easier for you to forget the unhappy memory, according to their new study.
In the study, researchers asked volunteers to read descriptions of 40 different situations that contained bad actions such as stealing, lying and cheating.
Volunteers then had to decide whether they would be able to forgive the person if they were the victims.
Two weeks later, volunteers took part in a memory test. In the test, they were shown a series of words related to the situations they’d read about and were asked to recall certain ones and forget others.
The results showed that people were less likely to remember the details of the unpleasant experiences if they had found forgiveness in their hearts. In contrast(相比之下)，if they hadn’t forgiven the mistake, they could always recall what had happened, even if they were told to forget it.
According to Noreen, our abilities to overcome strong emotions against someone and to deliberately(刻意地) forget about bad memories are linked to the same mechanism(构造)in our brains. And it might be this mechanism that connects forgiveness to forgetting.
