This movie was quit intresting. If you had the opportunity to erase one of you bad memories would you do it? And what are the consequinces?

Obviously, I would immediately choose a few past events and people to erase from the old memory bank. The logical argument would be that doing so would affect me in a negative manner because, after all, who we are is based on what we've experienced. However, the whole 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' rationale sounds like a victim's rationale to deal with guilt or regret.

There are plenty of painful memories I'd keep (lessons learned, emotional growth, etc.), though there are a handful I'd erase for sure.
