why not share your thoughts of what were bad?
what purpose does judging the merit of what's in the past serve?
Quoting: deafcat You know that is just the title of that meme, right? If words appear in bold above an imgur link, that is the link's title that the person who posted it, gave. 80s bad time..top my head: I remember when AIDS stormed on to the world scene and took over the media. Ryan White. For those unfortunate enough to enter puberty during those impressionable years.. I don't think you understood... I've been fascinated with the very prevalent 'good old days' psychological aspect of memory for a long time. If I see it mentioned, I can't help but wonder how others might analyze it. Each and every generation will feel the same way - that the world was a better place to live in when they were younger. This is what I was referring to when I asked are any of them (them being individual generations) really right about their good old days being good. Would any other generation be right to say they aren't good? If every generation is right to feel this way about their good old days, then the state of the world is that of perpetual degeneration. I think it a hard argument to try to state as fact that the quality of life for humans has perpetually degraded, though... I see your point. I read somewhere just the other day, that as people age they tend to forget a lot of the hardship from their past, and instead focus more on good memories when looking back. Such that, the era or time looked back on, is viewed through rose-colored glasses.
