Why do you think bad things remained longer in the mind than good things?

bad things wil b always painful which u remember in ur life coz, wen u get a mark on ur body it stays wit u...........

yes, we mostly remember the negative stuff instead of the positive ones. the negative ones are magnified to the extent that it covers those good things a person do. but if we all would reflect, the good things would far outweigh the negatives ones.

I agree with you that people remember bad things more than the good things done by us. It is because they expect others to do all good things only. It is by default in almost everybody's mind that others should do only good things to them. However, if one out of times you have done anything bad for them they will remember for a long time. Well I am not one who remembers bad things more. It is because I have understood that we should not remembers bad things more because these bad things do have negative effects on our mind and attitude. So what I do try to do is that whenever, I have an idea in my mind about someone doing bad, I try to find the better virtues of that person. This way the negative thoughts automatically go away. This has helped me a lot in my life.

i guess this is one bad characteristic that exists amongst people. not forgetting the bad things that happend even though there are loads of good things that is already happening. i do remember bad things done to me by people in my past but i tend to concentrate on what's happening now,all the good things that has been done to me rather than the bad.i guess its better to concentrate on the positive rather than the negative.besides there are a lot of good people too so why not just think of the positive things they are doing.

Yes, I agree with you.. People more remember all the bad things that you've done than all the good things you had made.. Even you make all of your best to be a good model but when people see you even just a single tiny mistakes, they won't never forget it and they will accused you already without thinking all the good deeds... Well, I am actually thinking it also if why do people are like this.. Then I came into a conclusion that when people gets hurt or hen they see something isn't good to one person then they will be able to forget all the good deeds that you've cause to them.. Because pain is more deeper than anything else.. Like for example,your friend.. She is so kind to you and you really salute her for that but suddenly she had hurt you without intention, of course you will really hate her for that.. Since she cause you so much pain, you are willing to forget everything she had done for you all the good things.. Because what matters more now is that she had hurt you.. Anger will be there and most of all the pain.. Well, that's only my own conclusion since I've experienced this before.. I forget all the good things that my friend had done to me just because she had hurt me so much..Well, I had just actually realized when its already too late.. I've lost her already.. I guess before we react into something we need to think it for many times if it is right or not.. Because sometimes our reaction isn't a proper reaction that must be act into a certain situations..
