Nostalgia

The state of nostalgia, lost life or just loneliness?

Watching an old movie or hearing a song which one associates with better times, leads you to consider present life and current challenges.

A yearning for a sweeter or easier life,
is a fanciful preoccupation of those that are predisposed to melancholy and defeatism.

The cure for this condition is to achieve a present reality which makes the old, pale in significance.

Printed word

The printed word is hardly ever the definitive truth. At best it’s the writers take on a subject but commonly it’s the writers desire to be published, despite the collateral damage caused by their words.
When a reader aligns with that word without understanding the motivation of the writer, he/she becomes an unsuspecting collaborator and propagator of their motivation. After all you must “Never let the truth spoil a good story”
