To forget is one of the logical consequences of human creation. It is said, the word man (an-nas) comes from the Arabic language, from the word nasiya-yansa-nisyan meaning to forget or forgotten. Everyday human activities can not be separated from forgotten, because forget is one of the elements that make up the personality and mental a human being.
The Arab proverb has confirmed that man is his place wrong and forgot. In the Dictionary, forget to be interpreted by escape from memory; not in mind/memory anymore. Forgetting something that has been neatly arranged in memory is sometimes annoying, but many are unaware of what enjoyment is behind this phenomenon.
In the masjid the imam forgot the Quranic verse series when leading the jama'ah prayer, in the kitchen a housewife forgot to sow salt while cooking causing the cooking less perfect, at the end of semester the students forgot to memorize the formula when the exam is in progress, to complete the study of student level the end forgot to bring the material of the report should be submitted to the supervisor, and there are still many things that are very important to remember disappeared instantly because it is due to forget.
This forgotten phenomenon can attack anyone even when and where. He never looked at age, sex, color and physical shape, let alone the position he occupied. Many regretted this trait because it generally forgot to cause something that had been planned to fall apart.
Talking about nature, basically forgetting it is a natural phenomenon in man. Therefore there is no term deliberately forgot or deliberately forget because forgotten it can not be planned. Even if one hates a memory or memory that can be done is to ignore and ignore the memory, it has no power to plan to forget it deliberately.
However, how often do humans think about what wisdom is behind this forgotten phenomenon. Forget what is meant here is not lost from memory so do not know anything else. But forget is the removal of a memory from memory in the head within an unspecified time limit.
If the pleasure of forgetting is not conferred by God to His creatures, can not imagine how the traumatic torment that haunts the days of those who have memories and gloomy experiences are always ready to haunt the twists of his life.
Unimaginable how the Japanese people live their daily activities under the shadow of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki atomic bomb incident. Similarly, the people of Jogja in the shadow of the 2006 earthquake that devastated the student city.
For Aceh, for example, how good it is to forget this is very valuable to victims of the conflict of war a dozen years ago, also for the victims of the tsunami wave at the end of 2004 ago. It is impossible to remove it from memory at all, but at least to live life without being haunted by the shadow of the ferocity in daily activities.
Here is to forget as a necessary element of human personality. It becomes a grace and a blessing that is not conscious except by the minds of the mind. Forgetting is not a trait that always has to be scorned, nor is that attitude always to be hated. Because in time it will unknowingly become the greatest gift of the Divine!
