'About nostalgia...it's a function of the human condition that when we decide that an experience was, on balance, a good one, then our memory of it all tends to be shaped accordingly. We forget or edit out little aspects or nuances. Or as I like to say, we get all Rashomon about things. Hence the ache for nostalgia, just as we pine to breathe in that summer sunlight the way we did when we were children. We want it still despite the knowledge that the past is all but gone except for the ghosts of memory.'
