Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 25, 2012
Transcript:
Frazz: It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. Caulfield: I don't even like to visit there. Mr. Spaetzle: What are you talking about? New York? Las Vegas? Caulfield: The past. Mr. Spaetzle: The past is nice! Caulfield: Maybe for old people . Mine seems to be mostly busy work in stuffy classrooms while it's nice out.
As most people age, their memory of the past is selectively idealized. Caulfield isn’t old enough for that to have happened yet.
