   The most depressing thing about the world is that it looks like today is still going to be tomorrow's "good old days"

     Will delete if you prefer- this may or may not fit here- but this gives me a weird groundedness in gratefulness. Because 'today' still has a lot of great stuff and so much beauty. Maybe less than ten years ago. But maybe more than ten years from now. So then I feel a call to really savor these moments- to let the joy be at least as spacious as the lament.

     What is our collective inheritance, right now, is still ours.

     @rameshgupta I would very much like to go to the 90s and set the groundhog day dynamic to the whole decade.

     Corollary: There is no period in history that most people would like to take a one-way time-travel ticket to.
