The question becomes--is there any relationships where you would want to do this? Is there anyone you'd want to completely erase from your mind, from your life?
...
Absolutely not. All my various relationships make me the person I am today. And I like who I am. Besides, some of the relationships that did not work out and the associated errors (including the embarrassing missteps) are really funny in hindsight.
I won't ruin the entire movie for you, but here's a question based on it.
In this movie, there's a company called Lacuna, and what they can do is erase certain memories selectively. They can erase the memories of a certain person completely from your mind--if the procedure works well.

I know, I know, what a topic for Christmas Day...but I had just seen the movie, and found the premise interesting.
Not relationships. But there are certain events that I would like to forget. Moments that still haunt me to this day. But my relationships have been good with happy memories, so I would not want to lose them.

You know...there was a time i would have welcomed having the memory of my most significant ex erased from my mind....because of all the pain that came along with our break up..but, truthfully, I would never want to erase this experience because of all that i was taught and shown through the experience...
Through it all, i learned more about myself and the level at which i have to truly share myself with someone through meeting her...

I loved that movie!
But to answer your question, I wouldn't erase anything, even the pain, suffering, and bad BAD times.
I believe everything happens for a reason, and there was a purpose, a lesson to learn, something that made me stronger or that contributed to who I am today b/c of those situations I had to live through.
Besides...there's always tequilla, that basically does the same thing as erasure!
Yes. I would partake of this service. Not for a person exactly but for a dark time in my life. Kind of already have lost most of the memories of that time - well, I'm sure the memories are there but the retrieval process is gummed up. I saw that movie years ago and had the same thought then.
