(...) Oh? And who recovers from bad feelings faster, adults or children? If you think adults, you need to rethink it. The older a person gets, the easier it seems to be to retain and intensify bad (or good, luckily) emotions. i.e., Lugnet can (...) (24 years ago, 12-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
