Yes it’s true. We don’t realize the
importance of something until we are on the verge of losing it. This is
one of the most easily observable and widely established human tendencies and
no one can challenge it, no matter how good a person they are. Just like
being inclined to do or have something forbidden. If not all of us, most
of us are always tempted to do things that aren't meant to do, or have
things that we’re told to stay away from. Or just like our tendency to hate
people who hate the ones we love and get along good with people who are
enemies with our enemies. We are humans and have many tendencies. But a
true human ‘being’ is someone who can come out of difficult situations without
being paralyzed by these tendencies. Everyone has a heart, but a true heart is
one that is strong enough to not fall into the traps of things that
normally anyone would fall into.
It starts with very small things that
can’t attract our attention. Like throwing our mobile cell phone here and
there and then getting all haywire when finally one day we forget it in some
mall and lose all hopes of getting it back. Or like getting upset with our
siblings or family members on little things and telling them to go away, realizing
their value only when they have finally gone away never to come back.
These small things become a habit, a tendency that we tend to show later in our
life irrespective of what or who we are dealing with.
But why should we not handle it sooner?
Why should we always give so much pain to our heart just in order to
realize the value of something? If you have the chance and can give someone the
right treatment in time so as to not make them feel unimportant, why let
time teach you a lesson by losing that chance and the person? If you can
study now and make your life a success, why wait for the result to come
with a red mark and then learn the importance of studying after losing a year?
If a relationship can be saved be telling a truth, and if telling the
truth makes your heart skip a beat, let it be. Why wait for the time till
the truth comes out by itself and your poor heart keeps skipping beats for
a lifetime with the fear of losing the relationship? Why don’t we start valuing
things already, rather than waiting for time to teach us their value? Why
do we wait for our most beloved people to go away and then run after them
to stop them from going, rather than giving them their part of love in
time and having them for keeps all our lives? Keep your loved ones close, keep
things clear, and love unconditionally. Love. Value. Trust. Faith. Value
these words and be happy.
