I agree! If we remember somthing happy that happened we think it is nice to 
remember and make nothing more of it; but if we remember something bad then we 
have recovered a repressed memory? Give me a break!

In all probability both remembered items are somewhat distorted; filtered and 
reconstructed through our current schemata.
