Nostalgia - it’s delicate, but potent. In Greek, “nostalgia” literally means “the pain from an old wound.” It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards… it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel. It let’s us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know are loved.
— Don Draper (Mad Men)

Narrator: That’s how the darkness descends upon the world. But first the shining moments. A shared flinching of the brain’s temporal lobe. A profound appreciation of what it means to be alive. 

But most of all, a shared urge to reach out to one another. To offer warmth. Understanding. Acceptance. Forgiveness. Love.

It’s dark now but they feel each others breath and they know all they need to know. They kiss and they feel each others tears on their cheeks…

And if there had been anybody left to see them then, they would look like normal lovers, caressing each others faces, bodies close together, eyes closed, oblivious to the world around them.

Because that is how life goes on, like that…

When my grandmother was a teenager

Some things never change:

A teenage girl on the phone (1944)

Now, make the phone a cell phone and instead of just talking she would be texting as well.

Teenagers listen to records (1944)

Now, make the record players iPods… and take a few inches off of their skirts. 

Teenagers at a party (1947)

Now, make the cokes energy drinks and… when is slow dancing making a come back?

“Touch” Today we’ll send over 300 billion e-mails and 19 billion text messages. Yet we’ll still feel alone… The average person will say 2,250 words to 7.4 other individuals.

There’s an ancient Chinese myth about the Red Thread of Fate.

It says the god have tied a red thread around every one of our ankles and attached it to all the people whose lives we’re destined to touch.
