According to class, what's the best explanation for why we have negative thoughts and feelings?
Biology. Our instincts to survive and procreate are supported by being very careful that we are safe, part of a group, and are an attractive mate to the opposite sex. From these basic instincts comes a flurry of thoughts and feelings that try to make sure that we are in a good position to stay alive and pass on our genes.
Pyschology. Culture influences us all the time and by emphasizing how famous people (star athletes, movie stars, etc...) look and perform, we always feel like we're not good enough.
Theology. We are born in a state of sin and we must be lifted up out of it in order to have the right kinds of thoughts and feelings.
