I get tired of reading articles where people say that things were better in the past. Anyone who doesn’t enjoy living in the present then can torture themselves with not being present in the moment all the want. Have you noticed that people would rather be right than happy?

So I am watching this silly 70′s show called Bunny O’Hare with a classic actress robbing banks after the bank foreclosed on her unfairly. It is completely silly and over the top. If you like stereotypes, misogyny, cartoon violence, sexual harassment, and all the -isms that you can shake a stick at watch this film. It is funny to see how the values of a decade show themselves in the films.

I get the appeal. The comfort of the past over the uncertainty of the present is a strong draw. Even things you lived through seem better than what things are or might be. I have seen and experienced that if you are open to life, it becomes better as you become older. Things don’t make you happy, you allow things to make you happy.

I can’t say that my relatively modern MacBook is any more fun than my original Apple II at school. I still feel the same sense of joy in discovering new things that I can produce and accomplish with it. Our ability to enjoy life doesn’t depend on the sophistication of the tools, but the sophistication of our attitude towards life.
