For as good as it makes us feel, nostalgia is a flawed feeling. As wonderful as memories of the past can be, they typically aren’t accurate. We often remember times gone by for only the good things, while conveniently leaving out the bad. Whether it’s the 1950s, high school, or the career of Michael Jordan, or countless other events or people, things weren’t ever quite as good as we remember them being. Segregation was still rampant in the fifties, high school was still a time of personal doubt for most of us, and Michael Jordan did occasionally miss shots and didn’t win the NBA Championship every season of his career.
