The saying, “The human race tends to remember the abuses to which it has been subjected rather than the endearments” shows how people tend to remember negative things about someone other than their positive attributes or personality traits. In life, we often remember someone’s bad deeds rather than the good things they have done for us. It’s a vicious cycle that can cause many problems in relationships and business.
