For the same reason children seem to inherit more negative things from their parents, than they do positive!!

Probably due to the fact that in other peoples minds the bad things are more exciting to relate instead of the good...makes them feel that they're better people (in their own minds of course) than the other guy! People are strange, what can I say....guess that's part of what makes the world go round and round!

Yeah Hipster, you said it. It's really a shame so many people concentrate on the negative things, and not the positive. Must be human nature.

As Shakespeare so aptly put it "The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones." Partially I think it depends on how they tip the scales with regard to how much good they do compared to the bad and vice versa. But then again some people just like to hear malicious gossip about others as was stated above.

I think for the most part he is right, I do know a few people who look at your whole record, not just your last mistake. I try to do this, it's difficult when it effects your trust though.

Most people don't wake up in the morning counting their blessings, so to speak. It would do most of us a lot of good to be thankful to whatever higher power or themselves, to think and act more positive. I am a work in progress and have been reading a book on how to think and be more positive.
It has been a difficult process changing my habits, but I am happy with the results so far.

leeroy, it took millions and millions of life times to aquire and to learn our negative thoughts. Thank's to "The Father" for sending His SON,this process is being reversed, and a million times or more at LIGHT speed. Can you feel it happening, is time going faster? Do the years seem "to fly by"? The days getting shorter? "Where did that month go"? Do you think that's just happening by accident, or it's just all in the MIND? What do you think days are getting longer, or the days are getting shorter? Or "I haven't noticed, never thought about it, to tell you the truth".

Watch the news media, they report on the bad things that people do, not so much the good.. You lead a clean life, you go un-noticed, step out of line then you become news and everyone wants to talk about it..

Unfortunately, some people live to hear other people's misfortunes. If you watch the local news casts, the first 10-15 minutes are bad news. When someone hears bad news they can think to themselves, "At least that didn't happen to me!". If you are a person with mostly good qualities, some people will be jealous of you and will search for any little flaw of your and dwell on it until THEY fell better which of course leads you to feel worse. When I make a mistake, then I apologize and then it is up to the other person to accept it. If they do, it should be "water under the bridge". It's no longer a problem. If they can't find it in their hearts to forgive me, that's on them.
