As some of you may know I’m studying Nietzsche right now, and I’m fascinated by his choice for one of the noble virtues: forgetfulness. Now I have to wonder, if forgetfulness is a noble virtue, and if God is all perfect, than God must be the most forgetful of all creatures.
Think about a God who DOESN’T forget anything, how would forgiveness work if God always has before his eyes our past transgressions filtering his gaze on our soul? How would God’s revenges look? Would he have nightmares haunted by all he has witnessed. Would he have post-traumatic-stress disorder?
What does it mean that “your right hand should not know what your left hand is doing”? Does this not require some sort of forgetfulness?
What does it mean that an all-knowing God forgets?
EMILY: “Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you. Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?--every, every minute?”
STAGE MANAGER: “No. The saints and poets, maybe--they do some.”
