Why Do We Feel Nostalgia?
Hey guys!
I came across this really interesting video on why we feel nostalgia when we listen to music and the host, Michael, relates it to our identity. What are you? He says that nostalgia, fondly remembering the past, could be a way for our brain to answer that question or calm the anxieties it causes. As human beings we are constantly changing.
He also goes into the root of the word nostalgia, which is a combination of greeks words for 'returning home' and 'pain.' It was actually a serious medical condition back in 1680s.
Definitely watch it and let me know what you think, we could have a good discussion around this :)
