When I was 8 I watched my 13 year old brother die in an accident. If you were to erase that event from my memory it wouldn't bring my brother back, so no I wouldn't take it. I would still have to grieve his death. If you were to erase any and all memories I have of my brother so I wouldn't know he existed, I would pass on that too. I'd rather have the pain of watching him die if it means I can have the joy of remembering him alive.
I could see how it could be of some Benefit to some people. But I'll pass.

Gotcha. Yeah, while that's an awful memory, I don't think it would be appropriate in that situation either. In fact, it might cause more problems. So sorry for your loss.
My example was of murder. If a kid saw his dad murdering his mom or vice versa, I think that might cause PTSD. Life for some kids is brutal enough without having to recall nightmarish memories.

Jesus man, I'm sorry. I'm super close with all my siblings, so just thinking about something like that breaks my heart.
Completely agree with wanting to keep that memory alive, even if the opportunity arose to erase it.
