"Past, and to come, seems best; things present, worst."  --William Shakespeare

Why is this so true.  We mythologize the past and romanticize the future but loathe the present time we are in ???

Could it be because we are bored with the day-to-day grind and routine tasks that make up the present and in our haze for more excitement ponder what might become and what once was.  I think he's on to something.
