Why is it that horrific images remained burned into your memory but normal/wholesome images you forget over a much shorter period of time?

I think trauma is the answer essentially. When you are tramatised you kind of mentally save a snapshot of the traumatic image/event and the surrounding circumstances so that if you survive you will always remember what it was that you need to avoid next time. I’m not sure why it applies to horrific shit you seen online, maybe our dumb brains havent firgured out how to separate whats real and whats on a screen yet?
