you can easily point your fingers at how evolution wired our brains in general. Unfortunately for us, civilisation apes who don't get brain updates when things are going alrighs, it makes sense:

which is more important to remember?

a place where there are really pretty flowers :)
a place where the bears live

negative memories have more real estate in our brains because they could come in handy for survival later, evolution doesn't care for your happiness, just survival. You could be the most miserable git out there but as long as you successfully fucked an opposite gential haver once then that's all that matters. And if your misery somehow contributed to you having fucked a lot? oh boy are those genes getting passed on

I read this very much like it was a comment on !outside@lemmyworld.com, and it added to the overall read.
