Recollecting past times is often an amusing way to catch up with friends, but nostaglia is a dangerous drug. We get caught up reliving years gone by that we fail to make the current time just as memorable.
What if each time we gathered it was a fresh experience? What if the old times weren't the best of times? What if they are yet to come, and here we are huddled together swooning over something that is pale by comparison... We have sixty five thousand square miles to discover and we've just begun! Carpe diem indeed my friends. We only die once.

But never forget that he who forgets the past completely will surely repeat the mistakes that should have served as a lesson. I realize the point you make is not quite where I went with this, but it is a mistake made too often. Be it our own history or the history of an entire nation we too often forget lessons learned far too soon.
