I mean good moments are just things like "romantic moment with someone who ghosted me a year later", or "meeting a baby relative who I see three times a year". Don't get me wrong, they're lovely and important moments, but there aren't moments so good they change a person's day-to-day life.

But bad moments obviously impact your life every day. You can't walk correctly anymore. Someone you love is dead. You botched an opportunity so you'll never escape poverty. Et cetera. Those moments obviously have a bigger impact because every single moment afterwards is determined by them.
