"
This is what we do, humans. We tinker and change and endlessly imagine a more perfect future. And, at the same time, we idealize the past. So, we’re trapped. Progress’ constant companion is nostalgia for the way things used to be.
The thing we forget about progress: there is no master plan. It lurches forward, in the dark, accidentally, and you’re never sure where it’s taking you. There’s no going back, whether it wants to or not.
"—
Ira Glass, This American Life (via youmightfindyourself)
—(Eloquently put, however I’ve never been one to idealize the past. I only see the future as possibly perfect.)—Quinton Ma, Quinton’s Mostly American Life
