"Through the vistas of the years every age but our own seems glamorous and golden. |

We yearn for the yesterdays and tomorrows, never realizing that we are faced with Hobson's Choice...that today, bitter or sweet, anxious or calm, is the only day for us. The dream of time is the traitor, and we are all accomplices to the betrayal of ourselves."
-"Hobson's Choice", Alfred Bester, "Virtual Unrealities, the short fiction of Alfred Bester"

illusion of golden yester-years but am prone to indulging in the promise of tomorrow being a better day. Hobson is correct though, right now is all that matters. Reminds me of the saying from the '70s(?) - Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
Thanks, FWWM. :hi:
