Forgive and Forget?

From the Druidcraft Tarot, the Three of Swords; from the Druid Plant Oracle, Agrimony:

          Have you ever intentionally forgotten a deep wound someone caused (as in 'forgive and forget')? Not me. I have however remembered it less and less as time goes by. Those kind of sorrows leave a scar, whether we're aware of it or not. The authors suggest heartache is considered part of the Druidic triad of learning: seeing much, studying much and suffering much. If I can move beyond self-pity, my pain can teach me about compassion. Agrimony was considered a 'dispeller of sorrow' by the Druids. It was supposed to liberate a person from depression and lethargy. I've learned that the greatest tool to dispel my anguish is my mind. Normally I replay the event, rehearse what I would have liked to have done differently, and talk endlessly to others about the incident. I'm not referring to the natural process of grief, but to being caught in an endless loop of it. This continuous circuit serves to blow on the embers of my pain, fanning them into a flame rather than letting them cool. Distracting myself with a new interest and deliberately turning my mind from the incident allows the embers to eventually grow cold. Changing my mind's course helps me move on with my life, while discernment can keep me from being susceptible to the same suffering again.
