Going back – constant or changing?


“Can we go back to the way we used to be?” – a question everyone has thought about at some point in their life.

I suspect this is used as escape route from current problems and to get into comfort zone and live life the way they had in past. And for some, it is about resolving current problems. Alternatively, for some it is about reminiscing the “good old days” (school days/college days/courtship period/honeymoon period etc…)

But no matter what, going back to the way we used to be does not mean we will be able to really go back and live life the way we lived then. When we have moved to a new place/new job, at same time, others too would have moved on, mentally if not physically. And when we go back, we will feel the difference and sometimes feel whether we have made the right decision to go back. And then we will neither be here or there.

That is, everyone would have enjoyed their school days and college days as well, but after growing up (what is growing up is another subject to discussJ) into a middle aged person, you cannot go back and live the life of college days (hang out with friends, spending hours together just chatting, ogling at girlsJ, get drunk and what not…), though you might continue to wish.

Everyone has problems in their life and look for solutions. Though, they all sound same, our thinking and way of finding solutions are not same and are different/strange in their own way, but going back is easier said than done…
