For me, it comes down to this:

If we continue calling things that are more and more recent "nostalgic", pretty soon we will be forced to live in the present moment!

For me, it's a consummation devoutly to be wished. It is the reality we ARE a part of--and therefore it is quite reliable.

And it is also the only way to avoid wallowing in past wins and regrets and / or freaking out from anxiety brought on from putting all your mental hopes into embellished future fantasizing scenarios, wishful thinking, about stuff like life after death!

Yes this be the stuff of pure fantasy, me thinks!
