Learn to Forget.
A couple of weeks ago, while I was walking through the park, I noticed that someone had forgotten a magazine on a bench. Although I was not tired of walking, I sat and started leafing the newspaper ,and immediately, my attention was captured by an article titled "The Importance of the Forgetfulness". According to the author, nowadays our society is based on an important and strong rule : "remember". To make a long story short, he shows that since our childhood we learn the meaning of "remember" (for example , to do the homeworks) and that, afterwards, we put into practise this learning thousands of times both at work and at home. Moreover, our society tend to give a positive value to the capacity of remembering. defining as stupid and fool someone who has a weak memory , or conversely, as genius who remember easily. [I'm not sure what you are trying to say here.]
By contrast, the author believes that actually the true merit/quality/asset is to be able to forget because this capacity would make people happier. The reason is that people could worry less and their lives would be more relaxing.
Furthermore, though it is clear that the purpose of the article was higly provocative, I strongly believe that there is something deeply true behind/under this exaggeration. Particularly, we should thinking about the fact that the so-called best period of our life, say, the childhood, is the only one of which we don't remind almost nothing. [Not sure what you were trying to say at this sentence.] So, why should we not learn to forget?
(Titles of articles are capitalized, no space before commas, but there is a space after the comma.
Couple of sentences weren't clear. Other than that, good entry ☺)

‘Should we not’ is correct, but it would be better to use: 'why shouldn’t we learn'...
To be tired of something implies that we never want to do it again; ‘tired from walking.’ Or: ‘…I was not tired, I sat…
In British English, Practice is a noun, (To) practise is a verb. Im American English this is different.
Well done; very good English.
Learn to forget.
A couple of weeks ago, while I was walking through the park I noticed that someone had forgotten a magazine on a bench. Although, I was not tired of walking I sat and started glancing through the magazine, and immediately my attention was captured by an article titled "The importance of the forgetfulness". According to the author, nowadays our society is based on an important and strong rule: "to remember". To make a long story short(or you could simply say "In short"), he shows that since our childhood we learn the meaning of "remembering" ( for example , to do the homeworks) and that ,afterwards, we put into practice this learning thousands of times both at work and at home. Moreover, our society tend to give a positive value to the capacity of remembering, calling someone a genius who can easily remember something, or conversely defining someone as stupid or a fool because they have a weak memory. Furthermore, the author believes that the true asset is to be able to forget, because this capacity would make people happier. People would worry less and their lives would be more relaxing. In conclusion, the article was higly informative, I strongly believe that there is something deeply true behind/under(either word is fine just pick one ahaha) his theory/ belief. Note, that the so-called best times of our life happens during our childhood, and usually are memories we don't remember, so why shouldn't we learn to forget?
