Why Your Brain Forgets on Purpose
You're standing in your kitchen, staring blankly at the open refrigerator. You came here for something specific-but what? The memory has vanished like smoke. Before you spiral into worry about cognitive decline, consider this: your brain isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. What we call memory "failures" are actually sophisticated features of an incredibly efficient system. Think of your brain as a ruthless editor, constantly deciding what deserves storage space and what gets deleted. Every forgotten name, every misplaced memory, every frustrating tip-of-the-tongue moment reveals something profound about how we think, who we are, and why perfect memory would actually be a curse rather than a blessing.
