Do Not Say the Old Days Were Better
Living bound to a beautiful past and first love, or releasing it to move forward — which is honest to life?
Ecclesiastes says, "Do not say, ‘Why were the old days better?' For it is not wise to ask this." To remember the past fondly is not the same as turning your back on today by insisting only that time was good.
📝The Classic Answers
Ecclesiastes says, "Do not say, ‘Why were the old days better?' For it is not wise to ask this." To remember the past fondly is not the same as turning your back on today by insisting only that time was good. Perhaps first love and home were so beautiful precisely in order to send us off. I choose to keep memories dear yet not tie my feet to them. To walk forward without looking back — that is how one repays those beautiful days.
