We have ears to hear and eyes to see and a mind to be cluttered with stuff we could have lived without. Do you ever read something and wish you’d never read it? But, you did. And, there it is, stuck in your mind like a piece of gum to the bottom of your shoe. It’s hard to get rid of.
Does a friend tell you a juicy little tidbit that you could have lived without knowing and gotten along just fine for the rest of your life, but, there it is. You can’t really un-hear it.
I don’t mean that I’d like to go through life wearing blinders and knowing only what is comfortable. Closing my eyes to truth would be just plain dumb. But, sometimes I wish I had a mental button marked, “discard.”
