Why do people often think that past was better than present or future?
Many people like like to say that the past was better than present and that in todays life things are getting worse and worse, where in reality it's improving every year. I think that it mostly comes from someones age, usually people that are "complaing" are adults or elderly people. From that we can deduce that all of them think that their childhood was better than their current life, which makes sense. Children have much easier, simplier lifes filled with joy. This popular belief makes us think that the past was better though in reality it's just ones personal opinion.
