2: This is genuinely a curse; You will remember every little thing that happens to you and it will haunt you forevermore.

Wouldn't perfect memory recall just let you recall memories, not necessarily be forced to recall them? Whether or not you chose to do it or it haunts you seems more like a matter of mental health...

You can't always control memory recall; even in perfect health.

Similarly you can't always control events around you, nor can you control things that you may do and later come to regret. All of these small things will add up cumulatively over time. Perfect recall is a shortcut to mental health problems.

Perhaps you are right, but wouldn't the perfect health pill help with that?
