Hashem gave us the ability to forget and not dwell on tzar. A yid darf zein b’simcha. A Jew has to be b’simcha. This is a blessing. We are not supposed to hang on to the bad memories, we are supposed to file them away and move on to happy thoughts. But if we want to think about them to be able to appreciate the good that Hashem gives us, there is a lot of tzar in the world and a lot of suffering that we can be reminded of.
