The present essay intends to investigate some relations among time, forgetfulness and happy life. Based on the readings of the Dionysism undertaken by Furio Jesi, it proposes how the concept of unforgettable is presupposed on the possibility for a happy life. It analyses how the loss of the past can be read not in a guilty dimension – of regret for the non-accomplished – but as the painful assumption of the potentiality as a human characteristic (at least in the tradition in question). Finally, it debates the necessary connection among ethical-political action and the happy life as a way to suppress, by means of a benjaminian nihilism, the contemporary mythology of a fully happy life.
