Negative Emotion come in series?


I was happy today for some strange reason which made me wonder about some thing else. Last time when I was down I remember that my brain accumulated all the reason for me to be more bugged and sad. It was more like my brain said, "Hey you are feeling bad for just one thing that happened. Here! I would gather all the things that has happened in the recent past to feel even more bad or worse!"
Why am i not feeling the same way when I am happy? Why cannot I recollect all the good things that has happened and be even more happier? I feel that negative emotions come in series where as positive emotions come all alone. Is this only to me or do you feel the same too? I am still wondering..........

While I am typing this post my mobile was buzzing and when I shared this with my friend, I was told "Why the hell do you have to waste time when you are happy by thinking some thing weird like this?" May be he is right ;) Thats all for now. Tata..

P.S: I am bored of giving reason for not updating the blog! This time let me leave it to the imagination of readers as why I didnt update for a long time :D

Welcome Back
I think Unhappiness & fear go along ,hand in hand. I think fear is a primal feel & hence perhaps gets itself projected in an accumulated form...pochu,romba sodappitten ponga..enakke enna solla varennu puriyale.

your friend is right, try ignoring this unhappiness & remember the old song Happy Indru mudhal Happy..
Idhu adhulluku mela kadi

I used to feel that when something goes wrong, everything goes wrong. It is because our mind tends to think of all the problems when we are upset for something. Its not easy to overcome it which slightly means we are negative and it tends to go negative further. On the other hand when we are happy our mind is filled and there are not much gaps to fill in to think about all the happy things.

I'm not quite sure about the later, as i feel that happiness doubles and sorrows get halfed when you share with someone.

Its a good topic to think about. Definitely need to think not just when we are sad, but even when are happy.

Nice blog and u r not the only one to feel the same! I think general human tendency is that negative things leave somehow more lasting impression than positive things in life. Though we should try to reverse this impression track :)

Its human nature ... We will stick to present happiness alone and always recollect past sadness. We would be considered as more than normal if we dont collect all the garbage of the sadness :)

Sudha said...

That itself shows how positive things are more stronger than negatives.Just look it requires a series of negative thoughts to make you sad. But,see ,one positive thought is enough to make you happy :)

gathering all best good happy moments - a concept rolling used in the book Harry potter. it was also a concept used in Mahabharat. You are not having a wired thought or innovative thought. Gathering all good moments brought great energy to few mythological character of Hindu mythology ( whether it is true or real thatz another debate). By the way ( i cant resist being rude heiehei athu eppadi ponarasikida rude a behave panati eppadi thukam varum) why do you want ot give reason for not updating the blog. you dont want to update so dont update and why should readers imaging why you didnt update. you didnt update because you didnt want to update avalo than. enamoo periya internatinal author write ranguku scene peter vitruka in blog.

hi,

it happens to me as well the same way... may be unfortunate events get linked somewhere at the brain's back side, and happy thoughts are unique and independent ;)

anyways if u think u r happy u r even if there is no specific reason to be happy.
