I like that quote. Reminds me of an ex who was serving in the Navy.
I had to stop talking to him because everytime we did all he would do is go on and on about our years in high school and our defunct relationship. It was awkward and annoying because my life was expanding and changing rapidly.
Until he left the navy he was the same person the day he graduated from high school.
I like that line about nostalgia. I sometimes get caught up in being sentimental about all the great things that happened in the past, and too much of that can be draining and unproductive.
Itss funny how there are so many things in this world that differ culture to culture yet the one thing that has remained is music.... the global language.Its been used as means of entertainment, sentiment even mediation...music just brings you some where. No matter what song or genre it causes some kind of reaction with the listener. When I was in high school, my poetry teacher had us listen to various types of instrumental music, whether it be techno, classical, whatever! We all had to either draw or write while we listened and in the end we all had very similar outcomes. I suppose music is like any other cognitive emotional trigger...sensory memory triggers...smells, taste... hmmm... Id probably like the book..
I like nostalgia to a point -- I think many people like it because it is "safe". It is the known. It has already happened, and the outcome has already been grasped. I don't really know if I agree with the quote as a whole. You can be nostalgic at times without losing sight of the future. Granted, if you are *ALWAYS* nostalgic, that's pretty unhealthy, but the same can be said of any emotion, no?
