Viva la nostalgia

[filmgeek]

Zoe here.Why does nostalgia exist? I hate nostalgia...how can it ever be a good thing? You look back on good memories that don't exist any more...how can one not feel horrible?Nostalgia has to be the worst feeling in the entire world. No, I take that back. Change is the worst thing in the entire world. The only reason I've started upsdating again,

Perfunctory statement of reassurance

I like nostalgia; I often take pleasure from reminiscing. As for change, without it, wouldn't the world be unspeakably dull?

If that doesn't help, then just look at this pretty picture of Paul Bettany. See? Pretty pretty pretty. I feel better already.

-Nostalgia is really a wonderful experience if you see it from the right perspective. Only with nostalgia can you look at the past and have hope for the future. It is through this deep admiration for things that have happened can we look into the future and begin to plan what we would like our future to look like. Nostalgia gives us direction, it gives us something to strive for.

As for change, it is essential. Change is an specie's mechanism for survival. Change is the essence of adaptation which ultimately helps us succeed and become happy. Even if this change causes hardship it is usually for the better. Bad change can spawn good change eventually. (Eg. If someone close to you dies, then when you overcome this obstacle, you'll only be a stronger person.)

-Why're you feeling down?

What he's trying to say, Zoë, is...you should really try a martial art.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
