About This Quote

No one wants the easy life. When people say they want the old days back again, they mean that they enjoy having it easy. They like to take things for granted. This is why when you hear people say things like, "I want the old days back again," or "The good old days," you realize that these people are not really nostalgic—they just want what they have now without all the work.

Their idea of the good old days was when things were simple because there was less work involved, but when all of us are working harder than ever to maintain our standard of living, then we all know that the good old days aren't coming back anytime soon. The world isn't always falling around our ears, but it does fall over them, and when the bad news hits the media, it feels like it is all crashing in around us.
