Midnight in Paris

If only I had been born earlier, I could have lived a happier life.
Which era was good, Mr. Nostalgia? Paris in the 20s, raining,
not acid rain,
no global warming issues, no TV, no suicide bombings,
no nuclear weapons either.
Fears that are commonplace in modern times.
Nostalgia is a rejection
of the struggling present. That mistaken idea is what's called "Golden Age thinking".
It's a mistaken perception that the past was better than the present. A dreamy ___ unable to cope with modernity.

Past and Future

Do you prefer past events or future ones?
Of course, I like both. It's always a case of wanting what you don't have.
Even if you dislike the past, the past is quickly made. If you're going to live, it's definitely better to spend it happily. Surely, people who like old things, in any era, and people who like the past, even in their preferred era, must have lived by learning from the past.

Times Change

If you have a future
Swim properly so you don't sink
Because times are moving on

When a line is drawn, a curse is released
Even the slow ones can become fast
What's new today will be old tomorrow
Even order can turn into chaos
Even justice can turn into vice
Because times are moving on
