From an old song (not mine) from long ago
‘Don’t waste time
These are the best years of our lives’
and
‘Whatever happened to the days way back?
When the world was safe
And it seemed worth saving’
Which I have always taken to mean, Don’t waste time in the past or the future because these are always the best years of our lives.
Not quite the point that you were making, of course, but I totally agree with you. A very simple philosophy for life, which I try to adhere to, is ‘just be nice’. If we all made a reasonable effort in that direction then lots of problems would just vanish.
