I forget in my honesty

I have experienced it many a times... someone gave me some money to keep and after a year when he came to take his money I actually had completely forgotten, I opened my locker and found the money just there as it is. I was so ashamed of myself and I thought it was very irresponsible of me. But then I felt it was very good that I did not remember I had his money, it was a kind of best way to keep someone's money safe even from myself.

Someone once gave me his password to send an email. After a few months he wanted me to edit a draft email and I had actually forgotten his password. I tried my best but could not remember so I asked him again, he could not believe that I had not saved it or noted it anywhere...I just thought why would I?

Recently I met some of my clients whom I had done some counselling a few years back and they asked me do I remember their problem and I could not remember until they reminded me. I am a psychologist and an educator I should actually never try to remember my clients' /students' names and cases.

I usually do not forget things. I could only conclude that i forget the things I think I do not have a right to remember... this is my professional and personal honesty and now I do not regret but feel great knowing that I forget only in my deepest honesty...I think this is the best thing I have.
