Let Bygones Be Bygones

Letting go of unhappy memories is easy to say but hard to do. Psychologists say that people who keep ruminating the past are more likely to be depressed than those who don’t. Should we or should we not think or talk about the past? Let me put it this way, it is better to reconcile with the past before we let it go. Unhappy memories are like a wounded arm, it needed healing before it can function properly again.

過去讓過去

放下不愉快的記憶很容易，但很難做到。心理學家表示，那些反复思考過去的人比那些不喜歡的人更容易抑鬱。我們應該還是不應該思考或談論過去？讓我這樣說吧，最好在我們放開之前與過去和解。不愉快的記憶就像一隻受傷的手臂，在它能夠再次正常運作之前需要得到治療。
