Do you think of the passage of time as saddening or exciting?
Yeah, in general do you find the prospect of the future and leaving the past behind (as we must) something that makes you sad or something that excites you. I guess it's sort of a 'do you look at a pint and see it half full or half empty'......
I have to say that i'm very nostalgic in almost everything in that I find the passing of time almost always completely sad and pretty depressing. I just think back to school, the memories, people who have passed away and think that none of that will ever come back or be there again. It's gone forever - and I think it's just a process that gets worse as you age. I'm at my happiest when i'm reminiscing about the past. The eternal pessimist you could say, or the hopeless romantic. :P
On the other hand other people don't really pay much attention to all that and have the ability to look towards the future with the view that the best is to come. The complete opposite of what i've wrote above.
How about you?
