I was watching this video about how nostalgia is bad, and I realized I've been stuck with this feeling for so long now , specially in the last 5 years (you know why)
So now I ask myself, how to avoid such feelings, considering we are approaching the total collapse of society ?
I totally get the nostalgia though, and I understand if you want to stop feeling this way.
I'm trying to see it another way, I read once that
“Nostalgia is proof that you're living a life that's worth living”
I try to see it as a good thing sometimes, even if it's not the best. But I think nostalgia is a feeling that will stick with me forever.
I get the impression the author is overvaluing and exaggerating his argument. I don’t see nostalgia as this destructive and dangerous addiction, since it’s a passing feeling that lasts minutes, not an obsession. If it is an obsession, then the problem is much bigger than just nostalgia.
