Answer 2

The phrase means that people are responsible and often forgetful.

• The phrase belongs to Forgetting by Robert Lynd
• The phrase states about an irresponsible father.
• In order to have a glass of alcohol, dad left the infant outside a bar. He left the infant there and arrived home before lunch.
• The author is astounded by the forgetfulness of that particular father who completely forgot about the infant he had brought along with him in a pram.
• In the case of philosophers, such a thing might be achievable. Few people who are not philosophers, in the author's opinion, are capable of such forgetting.
• Saying that most people have such strong memories that they make life boring surprises him. In a large modern town, the family system could not exist if people were incapable of having positive memories.
