What purpose does the section titled "Gloomy

Payoffs" have in the overall article? How does it

support or weaken Forgas' argument?

The section titled, Gloomy Payoffs influences the article on the official part that in as much as being gloomy is a natural kind of feeling that carries so much negativity, it also has an upside which is being impatient and in a financial side, a gloomy person prefers taking money now than waiting for a big financial layoff.

Explanation:

Gloomy payoffs is a content referring to the positive and negative sides of being gloomy or sad. According to  psychologist

Sonja Lyubomirsky of the University of California, being gloomy also has a positive side and not just the negative side. In her work, she explains that gloomy persons have the upper hand over the happy people when it comes to being impatient. She also explained that being too happy can have severe consequences too in as much as it has great rewards. One of the consequences being bipolar disorders which leads to personal and social misjudgements. On the other hand, being sad or gloomy comes with its own upside which already experimented shows that a lot of sad people are impatient and financially, prefers taking money now than waiting for a big financial layoff while a happy person can wait for months as long as it yields more in returns.

This content however, supports Forgas's argument because he believes a person's mental state can greatly influence any decision that person intends to take at that moment while citing the sad people's take- the- money-and-run, am approach which Forgas helped develop along with his crew.
