Excellent question. I'd say that remembering specific bad experiences allows for a better rate of survival. We (and a lot of other animals) have evolved emotions as memory markers, so conversely memories have emotional content. And it seems more important to remember danger than pleasure if one wants a chance at pleasure. To Helen,

I think they are quite accurate.<br /><br />I am curious though about #7, why is it that negative emotions always outlast positive ones? Is that something we do to ourselves, or is there something else going on? Is there a benefit to this asymmetry? These "laws" are great observations. I think they are quite accurate.
