Brain..you trickster

The title of the post won't come as a surprise to you if you have observed yourself, your thoughts over a period of time. Its funny and intriguing how an occurrence in our life triggers a storm of emotions which overwhelm us for a short time (lets say those occurrences were not apocalyptic) and we hammer ourselves for doing certain things. But at last when the dust settles, you forget. You just forget what you repeatedly told yourself. All the pounding of the hammer to no effect. I am not saying by any means that what I told myself was right or wrong (lets assume for now that things can be categorized that way). There lies the tricky incorrigible nature of our mind....is there an indelible ink for its fabric...will it ever learn..in fact..lets take a step backwards...does it want to learn ?
