Gore Vidal's "The Robin", idealization of the past

Have you ever noticed that everything was so much better in the good old days? Have you noticed that when someone takes a look at something that holds value in your life, they see it in a different light? Have you noticed that sometimes it is more fun to believe things about yourself that maybe aren't true? People have a habit of making things out to be different then they truly are. Everyone does it …

…have a problem and need to see the truth more clearly. Too often are we lying to ourselves about the past, possessions, and ourselves. Now is the time to take a good look and let Gore Vidal prove to us once and for all that you can't lie to yourself forever. Once the truth is revealed to yourself it will be harder to handle than if you would have just seen the truth right away.
