All of us love to take a trip down the memory lane.' Our elders, never tire of repeating the stories of the 'good old day's. Even those who have lived a wretched life in the past, and who are, decidedly, living a far better life at present, will revel in the nostalgia of the olden days. The reason why the past always seems to be better than the present is that we tend to remember only the good aspects of the past life and ignore the painful part of it. Even the memories of unpleasant experiences in the past are pleasant because the painful part of those experiences is gone and only the memories remain.
Time is supposed to be the greatest healer of pain. It heals and dulls the pain and sorrow of the past. Thus,when we recall the past life, our memories get filtered and the glimpses of only the glorious moments come to our mind. Life is always a mixture of joys and sorrows, happiness and hardships.
Even the bad moments of the past appear to be good, when we see them through present perspective. Hence the saying 'the past will always be glorious because it is the past.
