Living in the past I buy, but looking to the past SHOULD help us avoid its mistakes if we actually learn from it.

But hopefully pictures we took, and kept, have a bit more meaning to us. Never looking at them means you shouldn’t keep them as they have no value. But being reminded of past events worthy of a picture seems to be worth a moment and certainly isn’t living in the past.

Nostalgia is different from looking at the past to avoid repeating mistakes.

I didn’t say I never look at pictures of the past. What I said was: I can appreciate being nostalgic; it is something I do from time-to-time. Not sure I would want it to constantly pop up on its own
