aking things for granted is, I think, the worst
trait we have as humans. Our lives have been
made so easy now that we actually forgot how
easy it is.
We use our cars to travel all over the place, yet we
don’t take good care of it. We have been together with
our partners for a long time, yet we have forgotten to
make her/him feel special. We have been somewhat
healthy for a while, yet we forgot to take good care
of our health.
It is a terrible fact that only when we have lost
something, will we know how valuable it is.
Your car may suddenly decide to not work in the
middle of traffic because you’ve been postponing its
regular servicing. Your partner may one day decide
