人总爱怀旧，因为那是经过想象的粉饰的超美好状态，也就是各按理想构建出来的小确幸。残忍地戳破来说，这与过去的境况或许无甚关系，反而与转身回望的立足点大有关系。
“Nostalgia, in fact, may depend precisely on the irrecoverable nature
of the past for its emotional impact and appeal. It is the very pastness
of the past, its inaccessibility, that likely accounts for a large part
of nostalgia's power...This is rarely the past as actually experienced,
of course; it is the past as imagined, as idealized through memory and
desire. In this sense, however, nostalgia is less about the past than
about the present.”
--Linda Hutcheon, Irony, Nostalgia, and the Postmodern (1998).
