On Nostalgia

            Human beings need something to aspire to. We recollect the goodness of the past and the lessons we have learned from it. We recollect the power of what the past holds for our future. We recollect the wonder and splendor of what has been and hope for what could be. However, instead of creating the same experience in the present, we sometimes allow those feelings of powerful goodness to remain where they are. Instead of taking that which we have learned to the rest of the world, we keep the love to ourselves. Instead of being motivated to utilize the lessons which we have learned from our forefathers, sometimes we are depressed in the thought that we as human beings cannot give the same feeling to others. It is as if we are an insufficient buoy compared to the paragons of our mind, always changing and always being lower than the nostalgic memory of our past. This is a concept which cannot ever be the truth. In reality, since we are still living, our success in transcribing this feeling towards others is more than a possibility; it is our obligation towards mankind.
