Thanks for sharing, Zed. I particularly liked this line: "The idea of things is always better than the reality." One thing that's dawned on me recently is that, for me, this is true as well for events that have already happened. In other words, events from my past seem to take on a romantic hue, similar to a dream of the future. I guess this is nostalgia. But, it occurs to me that I was never as happy during those past moments as I like to imagine or pretend to remember. This is to say (or ask), why is it often rose colored glasses when I look in front and behind, but always gloom and doom when I look right here around me?
