“The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time”
— Friedrich Nietzsche

Simplified Meaning:
When you forget things easily, you can experience the same joyful moments over and over again as if they were new each time. Imagine watching your favorite movie and then forgetting the story. Each time you watch it again, it feels like the first time, and you get to enjoy the surprises and excitement all over again. This can happen with simple pleasures too, like rediscovering a delicious dessert you've tried before but don't remember eating. While forgetting things can be challenging, it also means you can keep finding happiness in familiar experiences. It’s like having a reset button for joy, allowing you to continually appreciate life's little pleasures anew.
