You're quite right about our being programmed that way.

A workshop facilitator at an event I attended explained that the brain is like 'Velcro for negative emotions, and Teflon (non-stick) for positive emotions.'

It's so important to have ways to respond to ourselves with compassion when these things happen out of nowhere.

Oh, I like that quote, Lost. Dr. T was recently saying how I just seem to hold onto negative things that people say and forgetting the positive. How he thought it was sad. And it's not something that I do intentionally--like you said, more that I was programmed this way.
