I'm not sure why the opposing opinion is somehow the holder's fault. Anecdotally, I've seen much more hate, violence, calls for violence, unhappiness, and economic dissatisfaction today compared to 10 years ago. This could be due to any number of things, some real and some related only to perception. This is a subject for debate, but it doesn't make sense to imply that the observation itself is somehow wrong. Your dismissal is antagonistic where it doesn't need to be.
- m0zg 7y agoWhat you're experiencing is called the "good old days" syndrome. You're evolutionarily predisposed to first forget the bad stuff, so the way you remember the past is an idealized version that didn't really exist. This is very easy to see if you're into journaling.
