Nostalgia, yes or no. Thoughts?

Do you think nostalgic thoughts are good or bad for the soul? I'm 62 years old therefor, I grew up in a much simpler time. I often miss that part of growing up. No internet, smart phone, etc., etc. But then again, times in the 1970s was downright volatile, at least in my world and surroundings. I'm wondering how others regard this topic.

I am nostalgic for the music and art that I loved. I am frightened as all hell, about the future of the US.

@Mikla i know things go in cycles, and i do have faith in the long run, that democracy can prevail. At my age, I am just concerned i will not live long enough to see the pendulum swings my back.

@samueltyler2 I feel the same at my age as I just can't see it happening in my lifetime. I'm hoping and praying things change in my 33-year-old son's lifetime.

@Mikla how can we have become so bigoted, angry, with such hate, science denial, etc? Where ya at all the empathy, striving for equal rights gone?
