How to Confront a Very Bad Memory

If a very old memory still makes you or emotional, you still have work left to do to confront it. The best thing to do is to write down what happened in as much detail as you can and not push yourself too hard. Then the other thing you have to do is figure out why it happened. You really do need a deep philosophy of good and evil to even start to approach that in any reasonable way. If something terrible happened to you in the past, your mind will not let that go. It's like one day you walk down the street and you fall into a hole. And sometimes there are terrible things in this world which don't deserve to be remembered.
