I disagree, Strange. I think our memories of pain can be incredibly vivid and that it prevents us from doing things by learning.
Children get cut and burned all the time. You almost have to let a kid stick a coin in an power outlet and get zapped. "Told ya."
I remember what it felt like when I had 3" of my foot cut open down to the bone by a beer broken bottle. It makes me shiver.
I can easily recall what it was like when my exwife and last partner broke my heart. Mental wounds aren't as easily healed.
Memories are, as our buddy Stephen King said, like scars... they may stretch and fade with time but don't ever disappear.
