Does this mean that to fight nostalgia you should like your present self more?

I don't know. The idea does not have much to say about that question.

Nostalgia - Past, at the cost of present & future. Hedonism - Present, at the cost of past & future. ??? - Future, at the cost of present and past. Probably too litle-dimensional, but fun.

If we're thinking temporally, I can see the hedonism / nostalgia split: "living in the moment" vs "living in the past". But if consciousness itself is the metric, then hedonism = nostalgia: indulgence for a solipsistic purpose.

Opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference (george bernard shaw) Opposite of pursuit of pleasure is indifference to future pleasures and pains. Leads to nostalgia as we have a tendency to form meaning in someway What is your analysis?

I think nostalgia is just hedonism that you don't have to exert energy on experiencing, since the sands of time already wore the memories smooth to hold; the distillation is passive and rose-coloured glasses are free

I think Its nostalgia that people are actually referring to when they talk about returning to a “child like state of curiosity and wonder”.

A wise and eternally-curious old Ukrainian woman I know said to me: "I have always found hedonism boring.I never understood what the hippies were doing." She said this after watching the movie "Spring Breakers" (!) at the cinema by herself.

Hedonism and nostalgia seem like they could be same sides of the same coin to me, now that you've said it. Both seem a bit boring and flat when viewed from the outside, when you're not caught in their thrall.
