Our brain is hardwired to protect us from threats. It tends to easily embed bad memories. So that we can be more alert, and more likely to survive. While good experiences are quickly forgotten. To overcome this bias, we are often advised not to dwell on the negatives.
This sounds very much like the art of living learned through Vipassana :)
Clinging, no matter to good or bad, creates suffering in our minds.
So does avoidance.
Once we understand and experience that literally everything is temporary, like the beautiful sunset you shared, or the grief when a close one departs, it helps us in two ways. Be more present in the moment so we can fully experience it, and let it go with calmness once it passes.
