You know, you can build a strong mind/ will. Thats what i did, sort of automatically, due to some rough experiences in my life.
How does a strong will help me forget an image whose mental appearance I have no control over??
If you had strong will, you'd have the control.
Sad, isn't it?
youre suggesting the control of the autonomic nervous system.
which is impossible.
Not impossible. Just damn hard... For pretty much everyone.
But with a lifetime of practice, meditation and wisdom, it is possible to achieve a remarkable measure of control over autonomic nervous system.
Of course, strong will and a calm personality goes a long way to mitigate your emotions even without a lifetime of training. People can learn to control their mind, just not everyone.
Anyway, you'll forget soon enough. That's the most important defense mechanism our mind has from the pains the world around us gives us...
