Peefreak99 3,703 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I mean if i ask you to list 15 bad things and then 15 good things the bad things will be much easier to list. I think it's because we reflect more on bad things so then we remember them longer and that makes us react stronger to them. For example if i miss the train im going to become pissed off and problaby going to start thinking stuff like " why does this always happen to me" and " this day sucks" etc but if i don't miss it am i going to be happy and appreciate it? No i problaby wont even think about it. Bad example mabye but you get the point. Why are we always so negative and never appreciate good things? And why do we react stronger to bad things? For example most people will react stronger to a insult and remember it longer then a compliment. 1 2 1 Quote Link to post

For example most people will react stronger to a insult and remember it longer then a compliment. Thank you fro bringing up such a deep reflection The answer you proposed is scientifically right. We are built by Nature to mark bad things and be more careful. But today, is also a part of mental alienation, in the guise of Gestalt, let me explain. A gestalt is a sum-up of situations performed by our brain, that starts to consider it normal and refuse to accept that it could change in any second. It brings people to "standardize" their life, not in the guise to make it normal, I mean they start to consider their routine as their own normality, to the point that they could even be scared by potential oncoming happiness, if it made your life to change too much! When people get dragged into this mindset, they start can end perceive anything as granted, and fail to see the miracle which lies in every new thing Now you will ask: but you said it's not a matter of bad vs good is a matter of standard vs strange. Yes. The problem is that people don't gestalt the classic form of their life and the evaluation they have of it: they gestalt their own perceived self-worth This lead them to believe that anything good is for granted as it is a duty of Fate to cuddle them as they are great, and thus anything bad is an actual insult. Demolishing this mindset helps people to rediscover life with unblemished eyes 2 Quote Link to post

If Hell existed, the only food available down there would be Brussel Sprouts, lol The only form of cooking that could improve a brussel sprout is the epicentre of a nuclear blast, vapourising it in a nanosecond. 1 Quote Link to post
