Thinking Good Thoughts

Psychologists have identified a concept called "negativity bias theory" which maintains that we have a tendency to pay more attention to unpleasant feelings: sadness, fear, anger. Apparently-psychologically speaking-these feelings are more powerful than positive ones. Maybe that's why God tells us: "Whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-THINK about such things." [Phil. 4:8]
