Taking Things for Granted- Part 1

Many times in my life I take things for granted. For instance, many times when my mom calls me up, I don't answer properly. Still, the next day, she would call me up with the same care and love. We take for granted that, no matter how we behave, our parents would love us anyway. Today when I see my parents growing old, I realize that we can't take our parents for granted. No doubt, our parents would always love us. However, somewhere in future, they will not be there to tell or show us how much they love us. Believe me at that time, we will be the one to miss them the most. 

We take our wife/husband or girlfriends/boyfriends for granted too. We wouldn't talk or show love to our dear ones as we think that no matter what we do they won't go anywhere. Its only when they leave us we realize how badly we miss them.

There are times when we take our friends for granted too. In times of need we would approach them and seek whatever help one could possibility get. However in merry times, we won't even call or ask how are they doing. If sometimes, they call us, we would respond them saying we are busy. In spite of all these, these friends would always be the first people to help us or support us in hard times without looking for anything in return. 

We have the habit of taking those things for granted that we get with ease or for free. Its only when we lose those things we realize the true value of them.
