The term nostalgia describes a yearning for the past, often in idealised form. The word is a learned formation of Greek compounds, consisting of νόστος, nóstos – meaning “returning home”.
It’s amazing how certain stimulus can evoke an emotional response by linking us to something meaningful from our past. Music, images, smells, etc. all create nostalgia – Imagine if we could create the same yearning for the future…
