Many say they do but if that was true wouldn't we all be making mistake after mistake instead of learning. I mean after all we have forgotten right? In order to gain this talent I think I would choose to give up anger, and discontent. <strong>Tamara, it is wonderful to hear from you! I can only say that for me, when I was unable to forgive, I am the one who suffered the most because I was extremely full of anger, hurt and bitterness. I finally learned to trust God and his promises enough to let things go and when I did, it was like a HUGE load was lifted from my shoulders and my heart. I will pray that you can learn to forgive and give up your anger and discontentment. As far as forgetting, I am glad I can remember, especially all of the mistakes I personally have made in my life. I don't ever want to repeat them and if I can't remember them I am could make the same mistakes again.</strong> If I could gain any talent I believe it would be to “Forgive, and Forget” I think that the idea is a wonderful one but that the reality of it is much harder than anticipated.

As far as forgetting, I am glad I can remember, especially all of the mistakes I personally have made in my life. I don’t ever want to repeat them and if I can’t remember them I am could make the same mistakes again.

I didn't even give consideration to eradicating earth's ills. I just thought of Greg and what I would want! But it would be to play piano far better than I do. However, if I were suddenly granted the talent, why would I have to give up anything? (Selfish me!) Truth is, I could give up time and rearrange my priorities and still become a far better piano player than I am. But why at my age? <strong>I loved Judy's answer too! You aren't being selfish, just telling it like it is. From what I gather you really are quite talented. </strong> :) I’m humbled by Judy’s answer.
