One day, we'll have
to confront the fact that we do not really love the toys, publications,
fashion, apparel, TV shows, radio jingles, music, food, advertisements of yore.
What we yearn are
the carefree days of the past, staring at us straight in our eyes . It reminds
us of a time when assignments, examinations, sitcom plots, summers, visits to
the dentist, and Monday school programs worried us to death. At a blink, we look
around and we find a the real world unforgiving and humanity corrupted. It was
always easier. Perhaps, it has always been.
When time allows,
retrace the path why you love a specific icon from the past and identify the
reason why Loafers are cool, why
<insert your decade here>s music is the best, or how Nintendo
rocks, or why invest on a box set of 1st season TV shows, why Action Comics # 1 cost way higher than your house, why Harem Scarem/ Hall and Oates/ The Doobie Brothers / Neil Sedaka /<insert favorite act here> is waaaay better than <insert current act here>.
Other factors aside,
we come face to face with a child that is no more. We desperately try to pull
the memories back which are only relevant to
us and the few with whom we have shared the same memories, sadly.
A look at the
crowded streets tell of a brooding and dangerous times we now face. It was
different once - safer, cleaner and
where civility was still the guide of all things.
Aaaaaand its gone.
