@fmf saidI have one or two childhood friends who used to eschew nostalgia but I find nowadays, as they approach 60 years of age, they are more inclined towards it. Perhaps there is a point in life after which people derive more pleasure from being nostalgic.
What role does nostalgia play in living a meaningful life?

What role does nostalgia play in living a meaningful life?
the good ole days, wayback when, times of yore,

nostalgia is a drug
