Why is it that when you're right no one remembers but when you're wrong no one forgets?

Question

Why is it that when you're right no one remembers but when you're wrong no one forgets?

Answer 1

That is so true! It because people like to bring you down to their level and make you feel stupid!

Answer 2

because this is a world full of jackasses who like to put people down, to see people miserable, who prefer evil to good

Answer 3

yea , and when u say something meaningful and clever ,they repeat it to u next day as though THEY just made it up.

Answer 4

when you do something right there is some oh yea man that was so good of you and you fade after a few hours or days

Do something  wrong and they call out  the gossip brigade and so that wrong is known far and wide an just keeps on going

Answer 5

That is very true, I would love to see the answers to this question as well.

Answer 6

That is very true. I would like to see it the other way around.

Answer 7

Because to the other person it's more 'fun' to say "Hey, you remember that time you screwed up the sales figures and we all had to work unpaid overtime to fix it" .  Wrong things are far more easily remembered and dredged up by people.

It's like the way your boss never noticies when you are constantly 20minutes early for work, but always notices when on one occassion you are 5 minutes late....

Always remember to forget...

The things that made you sad

But never forget to remember...

The things that made you glad

Always remember to forget...

The friends that proved untrue

But never forget to remember...

Those that have stuck by you

Always remember to forget...

The troubles that passed away

But never forget to remember...

The blessings that come each day

Answer 9

**That is very true and I think it's because the negative things are easier to remember and brought back up to remind people.**

Answer 10

I like this question.

1. If your right then im guessing no one is going to care   cause its too late for them to be right

2.If your wrong then im guessing that no one is going to forget cause they may have took a risk to prove a point and they want to bring u down I may be wrong but that what I think.

Hope it works 4 u.
