Send to a Friend
Why is it that when we reminisce, we often tend to remember the good times and not the bad?

It seems like when I reminisce with friends, we remember the good times. We remember the free feeling, the hanging out, etc. but don’t remember things like being broke all the time or being bored or not having a car.
When we reminisce about the dead, it’s almost taboo to discuss bad things. People usually say only good – what a good person the dead person was, how generous, fun loving, etc.
Why do you think this is?
