Similar to, but not exactly the same as resiliancy in a child is forgetfullness. Children seem to have such short memories sometimes! They get hurt or angry or interested...and five minutes later it's as if nothing happened. They forget the pain before the tears even dry on their cheeks; they "hate" someone one minute, and the next they're playing on the monkey bars with them; they get a new toy and it's their "favorite" for seemingly a moment before they're back playing with that toy they've had for a year.
And life is so much happier and simpler. Grudges don't exist, rumors don't fly, bitterness doesn't set in. How much better our lives would be, how much stronger and healthier our relationships with God and man, if we would just remember to forget!
