Eyes Ahead

The past looks so much better through the eyes of the future. But I can’t help thinking that that charm exists precisely because we are years and lifestyles removed from the age we sigh over. I’m sure people in the past said the same about their past.

Me, I like to look forward. I would love to live in the future, to see where humans will go, what they’ll do and how much they’ll achieve—in an age maybe, where I could watch the earthrise from the moon whenever I wanted or go on intergalactic cruises on a luxury spacecraft.
