Do you have nostalgia for a past that you've never seen?
Or do you laugh at that sort of thing?
I've always felt that, even if it was crueler and more dangerous, the past was probably better because human beings lived more in tune with their evolved nature than we do today. It has always felt that more correctly I do things, the less right they feel. But then I wonder about nostalgia, and if that's just my excuse for being bad at socializing and mediocre in school.

my dude, whatever past you're thinking of it was absolute shit compared to today.
Not nostalgia, but yearning. Basically im a hopeless wannabe.

Was it though? They had no concept of where we live today. So a hellene at the peak of alexander's empire would've thought that he lived at the best time ever.

>Nostalgia - it's delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek, "nostalgia" literally means "the pain from an old wound." It's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone.

Just so, OP.
>tfw no arranged marriages to fall back on, so you have to devote plenty of your time to try landing a partner
Fuck me, am I right?

Yes, 'tard. We know this because every great culture has written that they're literally the best thing to have ever existed ever and nobody will ever top how fucking badass they are. Just as we have and do. Just as they'll read about us in the future. Just as the future will be bigger and better and more badass and they'll say so about themselves. And on and on and on and on and on and on...

>higher standard of living = happier regardless of other circumstances
This is like the stereotypical high school socialist phase where everything comes down to material wealth and its distribution.
Also >>3269843 you called someone a tard then repeated their point in a less effective and more verbose way
