Lucky enough, unfortunately, we have a strong tendency to save bad, negative memories. Yes, negative memories remain in our minds more than those happy-go-lucky memories do. They are live, and vivid and every time we come across them, they haunt us. Our brain reacts more profoundly to negative stimuli, kind of like a risk detector. As humans we have been created to avoid danger, and so it seems that our mind is equipped to do it right. It has also been found that in married couples there is always more negativity than optimism, but a balance of a ratio of 5 to 1 should be maintained.
