Discussion of the Day
Turning Back Time
Andrzej J02-Oct-23
Do you ever long for the past? A place, or a person? Maybe for a life never lived? Nostalgia is a deep yearning for our former selves, but is it healthy? What do you think dwelling on the past can mean for your present?

    • My last two years of high school were my favorite.... interesting elective courses to choose from, good friends, sports, etc. The biggest problem i had was passing a math quiz or being late for the school bus. To bring back those days!

      • I know we can't live in the past but keeping memories alive you have too. I miss my son's and dad very much and not a day goes by they are not thought about I live with the what ifs and I know if I could turn back time things would be done differently the thing I have learned is tomorrow is never promised and the future is less appealing as people are missing. So yes I long for the past.

        • Sometimes just wishing for a less stressful life or more easy-going times from past decades.

          • Time before social media, yest. Kids will never be the same and we would be better off without it

            • it is not healthy to long for the past, the past is the past it can's be changed but the past does influence the future. You should not make the same mistakes twice.

              • I think dwelling on our past makes us a little more humble , it helps us reflect on our errors and what we can decide to do differently to not play out the same mistakes. If we don't dwell on the past at all , won't we rush into 3rd 4th or 5th marriages? Just as an example. Dwelling on the past helps us reflect more on knowing ourselves as opposed to shifting the blame of our outcomes on others. So it's not the worst thing to do over your Saturday morning coffee.

                    • I grow up with 'color and white' signs, segregation - housing and education, lack of job opportunities, blatant racism, blatant sexism, etc. for minorities in the USA (HISTORICAL FACTS). I don't have any fond memories of the PAST. Take a hard, long look at the USA - it is dealing with its past and NOT DEALING WELL WITH ITS PAST (IT WENT FROM BEING OVERT TO COVERT AKA NOTHING CHANGED)! Furthermore, I 'don't know anyone who can time travel' - (but don't quote me)!

                      • I'm just curious? Why are 98% of your comments race based and blame fueled? Does it serve you anything positive to constantly do this? Seriously asking

                        I'm just curious? Why are you a RACIST (you did not state one fact in your observation - just your opinion)? You are 'entitled' to your opinion - but I am not 'entitled' to my opinion. REALLY?! Time for you to get a LIFE!

                        your wrong, his posts are not allways race based. He also likes to tell us all how horrible his family are and how he was betrayed by his ex wife and how she has to continue to pay him for the pleasure of once being married to him. Why would you want to leave such a happy optimistic soul. He also hates all children and capitalism.......he doesn't need to time travel he relives his past everyday, in everyway in his head. A sure way to not find joy in life

                      • You should have informed her a caucasian once said you could pass for caucasian - now - all you have to do is work on being a racist - which should be an easy task for you!

                      • thank you. Last time I checked I was never a racist but apparently being born white (no more my fault , then him born black) some how has made me a racist in his bitter eyes. I hope he can find some joy some how without hate mongering so often :(

                      • I like Austin Martin's and old Alfo Romeo's . Spelling is probably bad lol

                    • You cannot change the past, the future is not here yet so all you can do is live today. Do I think of things and times gone by of course, everyone does. Would I like to relive them not really. I just cannot believe how fast it has gone.

                      • As I get older the detail, places and the people in my past just become increasingly clearer..a fantastic resource...something that brings me a lot of happiness..I spend a lot of moments when awake living past things..just briefly...and plenty more when asleep...it is fantastic..not sure I'd want to go back...but very content with what has happened...I am lucky perhaps...

                        • Sometimes nostalgia washes over me, but I get over it.

                          • It's scary when you think of it in a way. Yes, I love my memories but don't want to get caught up too much in the past. i know we don't know our future but we need to move on but still keep your memories alive.
