Remember the good old days? Nostalgia can make us forget the comforts of today and yearn for the past. No wonder so many people miss the old days, despite the possibilities and comforts of today. While not everything in history is a sun and a rainbow, the online community shares aspects that they thought were a lot better than they were in the past.
1. Outdoor games
Someone talks about the ease of playing outside in childhood. You can walk all day with other children in the neighborhood without disturbing your parents. Similarly, you can visit a friend after school and be safe if you get home before sunset. Nowadays, you can’t even go to the park without someone hovering over you!
2. Don’t pay for the beach
Many services that you now have to pay for were free at the time. For example, there were no fees for being on the beach or for parking. However, at the moment, one user mentions that he pays to enter some beaches and pays for parking nearby.
3. Communication: less phones, more conversations
Another user talks about the decline of communication with the advent of cell phones. Ironically, we have more ways to communicate, but we actually talk less! In addition, daily communication with grandparents was a common practice. Family time was essential, and having dinner together was a ritual for most.
4. Childhood experience
Someone remembers the joy of being able to experience childhood without having to grow up quickly. The academic load was low, which meant that the children could do other things outside of school. But kids these days should be little geniuses by age five!
5. Don’t overeat: cherish the little pleasures
Consumerism today is dominated by e-commerce and widespread shopping malls. However, as the user notes, in the past, material things were less common. Parents rarely bought things for their children. Thus, receiving gifts for birthdays and holidays has become special.
6 Patriotism: Forgotten Heroes
A Nepalese man mentions the decline of patriotism in his country. They regret that most historical figures today remain unrecognized, despite their sacrifices. Moreover, this lack of patriotism also leads to a brain drain as people become apathetic towards the idea of serving the Motherland.
7. Virtue for the sake of virtue
Another person speaks of devotion to God and the prevalence of love in those times. Virtues such as closeness to nature, kindness and respect were the basis of personality. Things seem transactional and superficial in today’s times. Unfortunately, these meanings are less common than they used to be.
8. Movies: when less is more
This might be an unexpected addition to the list, but according to someone, movies used to be much better. Too many options at hand and over-the-top content give way to mediocrity. Movies were better back then because there were fewer options, which meant better quality.
9. Drinking water, breathing air
In addition to the way of life, in the past, the resources were also of higher quality. Naturally, the lack of industrialization meant little air and water pollution.
10. Fewer cars, more people
Let’s appreciate the past for what it was and be grateful for the comforts and achievements we have today. After all, we do not want to go back to the time when we had to wash clothes by hand or travel by horse and wagon!
However, one person lacks the ability to interact with people. Today, interactions in convenience stores or banks are done by machines, which reduces interactivity and communication.
