I don't think it's true that we selectively remember negative experiences better.

I first heard about this in school, but also on social media there's been this idea and they've say studies suggest that we are negatively biased. Similar to how the say we're supposedly drawn to negative things better than positive.
I don't think it's true. I remember the positive experiences very well. Last night I was pondering what has kept me personally away from moving into a Rightist ideology.
I think large contribution to that is all the people who decided to help me when I needed it the most. I remember them. I want to encourage others to please uplift others when you're able. They might not return you the favor, but please believe me it can end up steering people in the correct path.
A ruthless world of nothing but spikes just makes people give up hope.
