Hello, @joseph1956

You produce a sensitive voice that describes the loss of the present and the spirit's rootedness in the memory of the good old days. Although the voice denotes a feeling of despair and a great willpower to regain one's identity, the text also produces a certain tenderness when we stop to dwell on the unrealistic appraisals.

I also think that the syndrome is so well known that the last two sentences are superfluous, since in such a detailed text one would have to trust that the reader will come to what is explicitly expressed.
