WTF is so appealing about the good old days?
Forums › General Discussion › WTF is so appealing about the good old days?-
I just got back from a day full of research at the state archives library. I've read an ungodly amount of old ass newspapers and was appalled by the sexist, and racist nature of the ads in those days. What I don't get is, why are people always talking about the good old days? That time period didn't seem so great. The fucking facist coal companies murdered innocent people(women and children included) and society was plagued by a number of shitty diseases.

Terrible and shocking stories sell more newspapers. It's as true now as it was then. People get nostalgic about their youth, things really were no better, they just seemed to be because they had less wrinkles, less aches and pains and had much more sex. Not to mention less responsibility. I'm starting to get to that point myself... On all aforementioned points.
Life is shit, we simply fail to realise the magnitude of the shit and how bad it smells until we age. I've no doubt I'll look back upon my 30s when I'm in my 40s and think things were better now. If I make it to 40s of course.

In my opinion, what they miss about the good old days is their ignorance of the time. They saw the world from a youthful perspective. It seems much better in that light.

Give it twenty years and you will look at this moment in time as "the good ole days".

When you look back say 10,20,30 years ago you think to yourself those were the good days. The truth is you flushed out all the bad memories of the time and chose to keep only the good ones. Nothing wrong with that at all.
The key is to make the most out of today so that in another 10, 20,30 years from now you will continue to be able to say those were the good old days. -

It was better because they weren't brainwashed by electronics
And they were actually social. As in talking to a person. In real life. Social
