Many of the older people I most admire are actively _not_ nostalgic for the past, even their own glorious pasts. Interesting balance: learning but not yearning for the past. Good to actively aspire toward.

They want good memories" https://onbeing.org/programs/daniel-kahneman-why-we-contradict-ourselves-and-confound-each-other-oct2017 …
