Generally people can’t get satisfied with what they got...\nSo they feel what has gone was better than the present

When you're younger, every experience is new.  As you age, the feeling of sameness sets in.  \n\nIt's like when you travel in a foreign country--everything is brand new and interesting, and the days last forever (and you get exhausted trying to absorb everything you've seen, heard, tasted, learned).

The past must be accepted. It should never be denied. It is apart of the reason why a country is now the way it is. We should try to forgive and move ahead. But to forget is disrespectful to all who have suffered. Effects of these sufferings last for generation upon generation and unless you have felt the effects you may not understand why people today are still so hurt by past events. Its very complicated and painful. I just hope one day, we as a world of people will learn to accept, acknowledge, love each other and live in peace together. That's a big ask, but I'll never stop hoping.

yes. everyone is a time traveller. in fact, even now you are travelling from a past to a future. the present is but a trasistory period of your journey.

Myths, are just stories that are told throughout the generations; most of the time, they fall into a few different categories:  1. Teaching about past events. 2. Teaching a moral, or 3. Just a good story.\n\nI love myths.\n\nAs i folow a non standard religion (in this case, i practice many of the Wiccan and Druidic belief systems), for me magic is real.  We, as humans, have an inate ability to connect with each other, with the planet, and with animals around us.  \n\nOur magic is indeed real :)

Some people believe in "past lives"-- reincarnation.  They believe people have soul mates and that many people in our CURRENT life is someone from their past... we died, then came back in a different body but with the same basic soul.  We're supposed to "come back" to right our past wrongs or learn something that we are supposed to know before we can 'move on'... basically, the mistakes we make, we should learn from; other people around us are our teachers or students--these can also be our 'soul' mates, doesn't necessarily mean a lover.  (If you really feel your instinct, it tells you what to do--that's your guide... )

Older people seem strange because they grew up in a different generation with different habits and different values than we have today. Perhaps they feel that the time they remember was a better time and that if they can teach their children these same things then it will they will have a better life today.\nI do not think that older people are weird, simply different (okay, some are just weird) but to each their own. :)

all my friends have super natural power  but all in different ways . Some can make me laugh in sorrow, while few can read my my mind sometimes. power does not mean it should act like a magic but it should be magic in itself.

every human beings nature is to be loved-touch as in holding hands is a reminder-comfort-expressing the way you feel as 1 -togetherness .when you see 2 people holding hands especially elderly everyone secretly hopes they are still doing this in 50 years. happy holidays p.s. at least that is what it means to me. married 18yrs still holding hands

I do beleive in magic. But i think it comes less from spells, and more from the positive thoughts and energies directed at the outcome. The power of thought is unimaginable. Also sometimes things happen that you just cant explain, and you can call it god or magic or whatever. The point is, the beleif makes it real... and vice versa....

So many people are so ignorant that they dont care anymore.  I think some people can't get over the past. Well, myself, wasn't alive when a lot of it(the past)happened.  Just because I have German heritage doesn't mean that I had anything to do with the death of Jews and neither does my ansestors.  C'mon people, get real and figure it out!  We are all human and the only difference between us is the color of our skin or hair, we all bleed red, we all cry and guess what, we're all American. The past is just that, the past.

God~He set the rules, not to mention giving us the capacity to love. Are you a baby boomer, because that's from the early '60s. Now it's running through my head, and I can't get rid of it!

I wish I knew the answer to this myself. I grew up in the 70's and it was soooo different. It seems as if everybody today is in such a hurry, they disregard the feeling of other people. So many people treat others as if they are an object, simply in the way. It seems as if material things are what is important. Like if you accidentally pull out in front of somebody, their first inclination is to start cursing and flipping you off. they dont stop and think of the times, THEY pulled out in front of somebody. I think the whole friggin world needs to slow down and take a deep breath.

Being there 50 years ago & being here now I would have to say that the thinking of young people is very different today.  Back then, right & wrong were matters of concience & everbody had one of those. Many young people today don't seem to have a conscience. That is, young people seem very wrapped up in their own personal comfort & care very little about how others feel.  I notice this in the way I'm treated by most young people who don't know me.  They don't know me, therefore they can be rude.  In the same way, many young people do things like shoplift for example, because they don't care who will take the fall when product is missing or the register is short. It just wasn't like that 50 years ago.  I know young people who cheat at everything; school, sports, work etc.. They have told me often that it's ok to cheat as long as you get away with it.\nIn all fairness to young people, this same question could have been asked 50 years ago & the answers would probably be the same.\nI hope the next 50 take us in a better direction.

History tells us many things. What happend in the past can affect what you as an individual does in your lifetime. Such as , the effects of war and or the causes. How to better improve the light bulb or something as complex as to curing a disease.
