Want to value something? Try losing it!

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.
