    Nostalgia has been with us for a long, long, long time. It is a normal human characteristic. For example, over 2,300 years ago the author of Ecclesiastes said, ‘Be not like fools who ask why former times were better than these.’ I would guess that those who glorify previous times do not actually miss the ‘times’ so much as they miss being at the age they were then. I notice you are 17. Keep your perspective and perhaps 40 years from now you will be able to say, ‘2002 really wasn’t all that remarkable one way or the other. I’m glad to be living in 2042.’
