Re: What the hell have we done to our lives???

I sometimes think that time and distance lend a little bit of distortion to our memories. It doesn't matter how old you are right now, you will always look back and think that things were better back then(when you were young and in your prime)......I'm sure our grandparents said much the same things.
Having said that, there have been vast changes in social and economic areas in my lifetime. I'm glad that i had my childhood during the fifties.....I think it was a good time to be growing up. But then if you ask a child of the eighties, i am pretty sure they would feel the same.......perspective, all about perspective.
