RE: [aNomad´s thoughts] Is Nostalgia denial of the painful present?

in #philosophy7 years ago

I do think about my family. When we used to be together. When we still had dad, mum, and my sister, before they passed. Now it is just me and my two big brothers. Sometimes, you wish to go back to those moments where you have everything done for you, get spoilt with gifts and goodies, and have a "seemingly" easy life. Like you said, we live in the now. As much as i wish we could all be together, i understand the need for growth. Growth doesn't have to be pretty. Growth is painful, but it is the only way to grow. I press on. As much as i remember them, i forge ahead. I don't use them as an excuse for not achieving as much as i would have liked. In fact, they make me want to be better to defy the odds. I have this thought and it has always worked for me, to make me view challenges differently, and that is, "Everything always work together for my good, in the end". It sure make things easier for me. Thank you my friend.
