Have you ever asked yourself why, compared to the vast amount of nonsense and chaos today, whether in music, movies, books, clothing, hairstyles, etc., classic works shine with a blinding brilliance? Is it simply because they are old or nostalgic, or was everything really better in the past?

I think neither.

In the past, there were also low-quality movies, bad music, strange hairstyles, and all sorts of poor or made-up things. However, those have been completely forgotten or discarded, and only high-quality works remain in memory. So, it’s not simply the age that gives them value, it’s that they were genuinely better and authentic, which continues to resonate even after many years.

The key point I focus on is: authenticity.

If most of the movies you watch are terrible, the music you listen to is pure nonsense, or the books you read are meaningless, the problem isn’t you or the industry. The problem is your choice of content.

Apply the filter of authenticity to your choices, and your mind will become calmer and more refined.
