I once heard a speech from a Rabbi and he asked:

Why is there a mitzva to remember leaving Mitzrayim every day, twice; and the mitzva to remeber Amalek is only once a year?

He answered:

If sommeone does something good for you, you remember it shortly and then forget about it. But if someone does something bad to you, you will always remember it. That is why we must remember the good Hashem did(/does) for us evry day but the bad thhat Amalek did, we don’t need to remind ourselves because we don’t forget.

He then went on to say how we have to apply this to our own lives…I will allow you to give yourself your own mussar schmozze…
