Why does the brain remember negative prospects rather than positive ones?

The brain remembers negativity because people often dwell on negativity. A negative mood will probably last longer than a happy mood, because once someone is sad or angry, it's difficult to simply forget the situation quickly and move on.

Why is it when you add negative and negative it equals a positive and negative and positive equals a negative?
Use a number line to image this. Subtraction means "switch directions". ..._-2_-1_0_+1_+2_... Adding a negative is the same as subtracting. You switch directions on the number line. -1 + -1 = -2 is the same as -1 - 1 = -2. Adding negative numbers only makes the answer more negative. If you add a positive close to zero and a negative far from zero you get a negative. If you add a positive far from zero to a negative close to zero you get a positive. Your question seems to indicate confusion with multiplication rather than addition. When you multiply 2 negatives, you switch directions twice and end up going to the right (Positive) on the number line. remember keep change change.
