It’s curious to think that about forty years from now, people will be nostalgic about the way things are today and how we live.

Every generation does it.

Its quite scary to think that people might look back and think THESE days were better than they will be in 40 years.
Imagine in the period of your life from 1979 to 1985,40 years previously was WW2...

@wonkywinky It’s all perspective. My Uncle was born in to poverty and destined for a life of crippling work in a foundry.
Instead the war happened, he became RAF aircrew, met friends he would keep until their funerals and met the woman of his dreams. All only because of the war.

War is hell, for most.
