I’ve done something in my life that was a huge mistake and it was the worse day of my life. It was my fault for choosing what I did and now I have to face the consequences and live with this regret that I sometimes think about each day and thought to myself how stupid I was do to that. My greed and blindness left me lead me to where I am. How do I erase these bad memories from my mind?
Thanks for the tips!

I saw on the news that 2% of the population has “face blindness” where it is difficult or impossible to remember faces, so strangers and close relatives can be confused with each other.

I must have mild face blindness as I still confuse people with each other that I have known for over 10 years

Inspiration for this question comes from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosopagnosia

I was just wondering, sometimes it does seem difficult to distinguish certain features on a person’s face, but is it “face blindness” or just poor vision? I’m wondering, is it something that changes with your vision, or is it like a veil that your mind applies to a face, it’s constantly that quality?
