RE: forgetting is important

Indeed, hyperthymestic syndrome is most commonly observed in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), where memories become more vivid and recurrent... In my clinical practice, I have seen some cases of epilepsy where highly detailed memories are generated. However, human memory is reconstructive and imperfect, it distorts, and the brain tends to fill in gaps in information

Yes you are correct! As an example in my memory cited for sure we can’t say is 100% accurate!! Thanks for incrementing the thought :)
Of course, we are inherently creative beings, and so is our memory, it embellishes our recollections, sometimes for better or for worse...
Haven’t you ever remembered a childhood place so fondly, as if it were a paradise, only to revisit it years later and find it’s not the same?... Well, your memory filled in the gaps with beautiful things tied to emotion and played a little trick on you 😉.
A big hug🫂🤗🌻
