LuciFer's POV :

I have good news and bad news. Which would you like first? If it's bad news, you're in good company - that's what most people pick. But why?

Negative events affect us more than positive ones. We remember them more vividly and they play a larger role in shaping our lives. Farewells, accidents, bad parenting, financial losses and even a random snide comment take up most of our psychic space, leaving little room for compliments or pleasant experiences to help us along life's challenging path.

Hundreds of scientific studies from around the world confirm our negativity bias: while a good day has no lasting effect on the following day, a bad day carries over. We process negative data faster and more thoroughly than positive data, and they affect us longer.

Socially, we invest more in avoiding a bad reputation than in building a good one. Emotionally, we go to greater lengths to avoid a bad mood than to experience a good one.

In our era of political correctness, negative remarks stand out and seem more authentic.

People - even babies as young as six months old - are quick to spot an angry face in a crowd, but slower to pick out a happy one; in fact, no matter how many smiles we see in that crowd, we will always spot the angry face first. The machinery by which we recognise facial emotion, located in a brain region called the amygdala, reflects our nature as a whole: two-thirds of neurons in the amygdala are geared toward bad news, immediately responding and storing it in our long-term memory, points out neuropsychologist Rick Hanson, Senior Fellow of the Greater Good Science Center at University of California, Berkeley.

This is what causes the 'fight or flight' reflex - a survival instinct based on our ability to use memory to quickly assess threats. Good news, by comparison, takes 12 whole seconds to travel from temporary to long-term memory.

What Am I Doing While Thinking About These Things, You Ask?

Well, nothing much. Just chilling in my bedroom. Whenever I feel moody, I just lie down on the bed and play music.

*knock knock*

I went and opened the door. My mother stood in front me.

" LuciFer! Lunch is Ready. Join Us! " she said.

" Sure. Let me take a bath. " I responded and kept my phone in charging.

I picked up my towel and went to the bathroom. After taking a nice warm shower, I came out and opened my wardrobe to select my clothes. Hmm.

I wore a blue jeans and a black sweatshirt.

Then, I went downstairs and towards the dining table. I saw my dad having his dinner and my mom seem to be waiting for me.

Hearing footsteps, mom turned towards me. " You Finally Came! Have Lunch, It's already past 1pm now. "

" OK " I said and sat down.

My mom prepared a delicious meal as usual.

" Hey Dad? " I called out to him.

" Hm. What is it LuciFer? " He turned towards me.
