This a general thing. I think that people are trying too hard to live in the past. At least the ones I talk to. They constantly refer to events in the past, while not saying a word of what they're going to do or what will happen in the future.

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are

The past can't be changed, so its a solid conversation piece at the very least. As the present is just now happening and the future is unknown. You could talk about, "Hey, I might get a job doing this" get way too hyped for it and fail.

I mean more along the lines of bringing up random events like 10 years that everyone else has forgotten about. Or eating foods that existed a long time ago. Or maybe even going back to places they were at in the past for no practical purpose whatsoever. Like, just trying to relive old memories.

I neither fear, nor despise.
Are they living in the past, or just talking about it?

Big difference. most people admit things change.

Living in it is what I'm referring to. Everyone talks about it once in a while.

I honestly wish I could recall past memories in fine detail, but I never could. I'm sure part of it stems from the excessive aggression my father was outputting.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
In my own life? I don't think I do.

As a society? I wish we did. Cultural relativism fucking irritates the shit out of me. Fucking social justice warriors without any sense of duty, morality, responsibility or objectivity. Hello people! Facts fucking exist.

Fucking fuckers.
