You become more concerned with negative, unethical things that other people have done

There's a good moral in this data:your brain, and by extension you,might care more about the very negative, immoral things another person has done compared to the very positive, moral things,
but it's a direct result of the comparative rarity of those bad behaviors.We're more used to people being basically good,
like taking time to help a stranger in need.
In this context, bad might be stronger than good,
but only because good is more plentiful.Think about the last time you judged someone
based on their behavior,especially a time when you really feel like you changed your mind about someone.Was the behavior that caused you to update your impression something you'd expect anyone to do,or was it something totally out of the ordinary?
