Question
My question is not related to your subject but i would like to get answer from you,
why we feel as an individual that our past is more beautiful than our present.

Answer
Dear Tariq
sorry for the delay in reply. Thanks for your good and simple question. I believe that this is the tendency of our mind that it always wants to be elsewhere. It is never content with things at hand. Because they have lost challenge for it. It always wants to be with what is not. Remember Keat's words, "we look before and after and pine for what is not...". We all do that we do not want to look at the present but either want to trouble ourselves with what we have lost in the past or what we don't have at hand. Just look at the present and the abundance of it. I know it is easier said than done but true nevertheless.
Take care,
Ajay
