Why do old people delusionally always think the past was so much better?

It's common for people of any age to romanticize the past and view it through rose-colored glasses. This often happens because we tend to remember the good things about the past and forget the bad, or because we focus on the ways in which things have changed, rather than the ways in which they have stayed the same. Additionally, as people get older, they often have more time to reflect on their lives and the world around them, which can lead them to focus more on the past than the present. It's also possible that some older people may feel nostalgic for a time when they were younger and felt more alive and engaged with the world.
