How many of us look to the future and hope for better things to come? Most of us I think. Many of us though look backwards to days gone by. It seems there is a hankering for the past, a renewal of old standards and desiring things that are old. I love history and there is a fascination for me in events that happened long ago. I imagine myself part of the scenario, being there in person and living at that same moment. I treasure old things. Some jokingly say that’s why I like myself! Seriously, there is something about holding an article steeped in history or being in a place that is old. I don’t know why there is such a liking for the past especially as we cannot re-live it, except in our thoughts but I suppose that is the attraction! In a way the future is only something in our imagination just as the past is. The only difference being the past cannot be changed, the future can.
