Would you choose to forget?

If someone told you they could give you a pill that would make you forget a painful memory, would you take it? Or do you feel like the painful experience left you smarter/stronger/ changed in a way that you wouldnt want to lose, so you'd rather keep it?

Hm. Im not sure. On one hand painful things very much shape a person and im not sure id be who i am without them. But targeted to specifics is an interesting option. Then again people that would have earned that distinction even a few years ago are mostly just fuzzy annoyance type memories now. So probably not, although it would be tempting.
