"You were unmindful of the Almighty who begot you, and you forgot God who bore you Devarim 32:18"
Hashem created forgetfulness as a benefit for people who have suffered in the past, for people who have messed up in the past. If someone would remember every bit of suffering that occurred to him in his life, if a person would remember every mistake that he made, every not nice thing that he has said or done, he or she would find it very hard to cope with life on a daily basis. He wouldn't be able to enjoy the multitude of positive things in life because of the remembrance of the pain of the past. By forgetting ones misdeeds and misfortunes one can live a happy joyful life. But we must not be to forgetful and forget Hashem and all of our obligations to Him. We also must not forget all of the good that people may have done for us. Bottom line, forget the bad, remember the good and then we'll be happy.
