Abstract
Unifying explanation to the ubiquity of instabilities with complex frequencies of localised structures in coherently pumped nonlinear optical cavities and vortices in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates is suggested. It is based on notion of the energy sign of the internal modes of nonlinear waves and symmetry breaking ideas.
