It is difficult for people to accept that we live in a transitory world because we are so drawn to the comforts of familiarity. Because of this, some people actively try to create a static world based on a very narrow perspective. Even worse, others try to dillude themselves into the idea that they can actually turn back the hands of time and subject the present to some set of ideals that are nothing more than a memory; and as is common with memories, they are often ficticious and self-serving. To strike a balance between the lessons learned from past experiences and the necessity of the present is a difficult task, but it is one worth attempting.
