Question: Isn't it strange getting older!? Why do we remember things that we wish that could have been great !?
Am I making any sense here !?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes, it is strange but if you think too much of "things that could have been but weren't", you can lose time doing that and can stop yourself from moving on in life!. Nothing should be taken for granted in life but unfortunately, when we are young, we don't seem to value so many things!. Through it all, life is beautiful !Www@QuestionHome@Com

Often our dream world is safer and more appealing than real events!.
An idealist would remember a wish for something great that
never happened because they still want an ideal world!. They
still want things to be great!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!.
It is selective memory and a wish to put things aright!. Sometimes, we choose (wisely or otherwise) to act on these memories!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I actually spend more time trying to forget things I did when I was younger!. I wasn't exactly a model citizen! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
