Kids with polio who spent most of their lives in an iron lung

And who could ever forget those happy days, at least for some of us.

Remember those exciting war movies. Well, it wasn't like that, not at all.
 
There always has to be one sick cookie and spoil sport. You just won the prize.

Sad that your only memories were bad ones.

The mind tends to block out the bad memories, leaving us with a rather distorted view of the past. There is nothing wrong with that as long as we understand the mind is playing tricks on us by creating a fantasy.

It's fun to reminisce about the past but we also need a clear vision of the past so we can appreciate all the good things we have today to achieve a balance between all bad things.
