Beaubeau said:Nostalgia, by definition, is an idealized view of the past and pretending that all things don't have warts isn't bad in and of itself, unless you decide to accept your vision of the wart-less past as complete and utter truth. Even in the 1950's America, there was the Cold War and the constant threat of a communist nuclear burnout takeover.
I've always believed nostalgia to be an aching/longing for the past, and better times. They may have not been much better, but they were better than it is now I can assure you.
