One thing never changes
Cueva de las manos source (Public domain)
Over the course of history, you can see that cultures change. Some believes that people held in one century - held so deeply that to even doubt them would get you laughed at - were completly forgotten one century later. When one man in the 15th century didn't believe in a certain thing, he was called crazy and when one man still believed the same thing in the 21st century, he was called crazy.
Styles change, and what once was something people spent hugh amounts of money on, is now something everyone would be ashamed of.
Things you once weren't allowed to do, you now get in troule for not doing and things you once were expected to do, you now get in trouble for doing.
What was once progressiv is now hopelessly old fashioned and what was once fringe is now mainstream, whereas what was once mainstream can now only be found in small niche - subcultures.
And this isn't just a dichotomy between our time and "the past", but between any two time periods.
But through all this, there are also a lot of simularities. Almost always, the old generation thought the youth was lazy - I think you can find egyptian papyrii about it. Always people wondered what the best life could be - allthough the answers were different, the question always was the same.
But I want to mention one other thing, that I believe hasn't changed. A sentence that even our ancestors in the stoneage said all the time: "I miss the good old days!"
This is an impressive observation. 'The good old days' is a line we will get to use over and over again.
It resonate with me specially. I just listened to a song which my Dad use to play when I was younger. As I was listening to the song, the only thing on my mind were thoughts of those good old days. Hehe.
Thanks :) One day, we will use that line to speak about this ver, day, although it seems unlikely :D
It is true.
Things people see then and called it weird, it has become normal.
The world is evolving and so are the people in it.
Nice words.
Thank you 😁

Hello @davidteichmann95,
I saw the photo and wanted to read your piece. An interesting selection. You've got a great idea for a piece. In the Inkwell we usually like stories/essays to be 750-1000 words so the author can fully develop a theme.
We welcome creative nonfiction. This is a new category for us. Usually we would like a theme such as this one to relate somehow to your own experience. Make it personal, more subjective. What is your experience with "I miss the good old days"? Is this something you have said, your parents have said, or your friends have said? What was the context? What did it mean to you?
Creative nonfiction pieces generally have some kind of emotional connection to the author.
You can write. That's obvious. You certainly have ideas. I'd love to read more from you.
Please read our rules so you can make a smooth transition into the community, if that is what you wish to do.
The image We need a source, and a link to that source and it has to be public domain. I have used cave art images myself in writing. However, the image does have to be properly source.
Thank you, and good luck!
Thank you for the info @agmoore. I'll revise the text ASAP and am looking forward to being part of the ink well community :)
