For example, if something really bad happens to someone you didn&#8217;t really like (violent rape, murdered, amputated limb, paralysis, cancer of the rectum, etc&#8230;), especially if they are unjustly killed, you are more likely to think less harshly of them.

After all, if I can stop my memory from morphing, then it is my duty to take action against it. And if that person should cause me further reason to dislike them to a certain level, then I shall apply a kung-fu death grip on their colostomy bag and squeeze!
