One can lament the destruction and non-existence of what once was; or, following upon youth’s folly where memories have not yet formed in order to compare and contrast anything in the past and therefore such lamentations cannot be validated, we can just walk about in ignorance.
As we grow older, we perhaps exaggerate the pleasantries of our past — of a world no longer in existence.
Was it better “back then”? Obviously, it depends largely upon whose perspective we are seeing the world from. From the perspective of those classes of individuals who were once oppressed, where discrimination and legally-enforced restrictions of opportunities constituted the mainstay of daily living, perhaps that yearned-for world that is no longer in existence, is the not the preferred opinion. Yet, even among the previously – oppressed, there is often a nostalgia for the simplicity of days gone by.
“Worlds”, of course, can take on different meanings. It need not refer to large chunks of civilization’s great epochs; instead, it can be — from an individual standpoint — a person’s own prior period of one’s lifespan.
Thus, for Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who now suffer from a medical condition such that the condition no longer allows for continuation in one’s Federal or Postal career, of a world no longer in existence may be represented by that individual of some distant past who was vibrant, healthy and able to take on the world. That is a world which no longer exists, because of a medical condition which will not go away.
