Negativity

We like to piece together information into a consistent story or fit it into a theory. Now, this theory may not necessarily correlate with the reality completely. In other words, the theory may not be correct completely.

This has an interesting adverse effect when we try to absorb a negative piece of information into our model. Often the whole theory that comes out of this, is full of bad and negative suggestion. One piece of information can not necessarily be the outcome of a total negative story only. So there we miss.
