Old men, cider and tall tales. - a photo on Flickriver

            Some times even I didn't bring a camera. So a phone will have to do. 

The past through rose tinted glasses - -  we tend to "drop" the less pleasing memories.

Researchers suggest it could be that good memories persist longer than bad - helping to keep the human race happy and resilient.

Psychologists say that holding onto our good memories - and leaving the bad ones behind - helps us to deal with unpleasant situations and retain a positive outlook on life.

It was 80 years ago that the idea of negative memories fading faster was first proposed.

Back in the 1930s psychologists collected recollections about life events like people's holidays - marking them as pleasant or unpleasant.

Weeks later an unannounced request came from the researchers to recall their memories.

Of the unpleasant experiences nearly 60% were forgotten - but only 42% of the pleasant memories had faded.
