Taking Things for Granted.


Assalamualaikum & Hello.




I know I've been writing a lot. Kah. 

You know, before I really don't understand the meaning behind "taking things for granted".
And I doesn't think much about it. 
But, today, I think I have understood its meaning.

Today, I watched a J-drama : JIN and found this:

" In our view, everything is taken for granted.We have resolved that the Earth will go on spinning.That any time, it will be possible for us to express the things we feel.That these ordinary but contented days will just go on and on. We've forgotten the darkness of the night.But, what if there was a day, When we suddenly lost all that?The bird-like freedom we have.Our satisfied life.If somehow this bright, night sky was lost to us?If we were thrown into nothing but, A pitch black night, alone...I wonder if you...would be able to find a light there?I wonder if you would be able to grasp the light that was there?Or instead, would you want to bring a light to that world without light?By your own hand. "
- Tachibana Saki





I have to say that this is beautiful.

And the result was, I did realized something.

After all this time, I have been taking things for granted. So many things.
And I just let it passes, all the time. 
Being ignorant, selfish. Again and again.
Saying that " I want that" , " I don't want this".
The fact that I'm being ungrateful and keep forgetting the things I owned, 
I have been "taking things for granted".

Or maybe, 
We all did. 
After all, humans tend to forget the things we should be grateful for so easily.




We indeed,
have been taking things for granted after all.

The air that we breath, 
To live,
We just take it as a normal thing,
While there are people out there,
Who have been relying on life supports,
To live. 

The warmth that we got from,
the clothes we wore.
We just take it as a normal thing,
And begging for our parents to have more and more,
frilly and nice clothes,
While there are children,
Who catches cold,
Because of their worn out clothes.

The legs that we use,
To walk,
To live,
We just use them to search our meaningless reason in life,
While there are people,
Who have been hoping to walk again,
And achieve their dreams.

The love that we received,
The warmth of our parents,
The scoldings of our father,
The kisses on our cheek from our mother,
We just take it as nothing,
While there are people who would,
exchange their lives for the love of their parents.

And you know what, 
We have been taking these things for granted.
And after we lost them, we started to miss them.




Appreciation, gratefulness,
We started to experience those when we lost what we have been taking those things without having any single "thank you".
How sad.

I have been doing that for every single second in my life,
That "taking things for granted",
And I realized that,
I might have an empty life.

Appreciation,
I forgot that,
And thinking things will be same forever and ever.
How naive.

I think I will stop doing that,
If this continues,
I will have so many regrets in my life.

The things I love,
The things that hurt me,
I want to appreciate them.

Instead of doing something like "taking things for granted", I would rather do something like " taking things for better". 

It sounds so fulfilling right?

Ok, let's stop here. Thank you for reading! 
Bye!
