indelible

–adjective
1. making marks that cannot be erased, removed, or the like: indelible ink.
2. that cannot be eliminated, forgotten, changed, or the like: the indelible memories of war; the indelible influence of a great teacher.


I read this word in lee iacocca's autobiography where he was describing the horrors of the Great Depression. Unfortunately, bad memories are generally indelible i suppose. It is very difficult to forget the bad times.

Comments:
in fact i think its the opposite... its easier to forget the bad times as you dont want to keep brooding about them and move onto happier times. And when you are sad you wanna think about the good times thus i conclude that sad times are easier to forget. hmmm... i digressed, but this is not a forum ;)
 
i wish every new word that i learnt was indelible from my memory
