nostalgia  

Definition(s)

  • Nostalgia is commonly understood to be a condition of mourning or yearning for a past when things were better or more certain or simpler: when, in short, today's nostalgic person would not have been beset by the troubles of the present and would have been all the more content for it. Nostalgia, as a human condition, presupposes that the past has gone, along with those times and particulars, people and places, mourned and missed.
