One of the weirdest "thing" that exists. .

is that. .
People don't truly appreciate what they have until it's gone. .

It's really weird how people will die, fight, and go all out just to attain something they want. .
Then, when they've gotten it, the value of "it" drops as time goes by. .
Somehow, that something doesn't seem as important nor taken care of as properly as before. .
Is it the challenge of getting it?
Is it that feeling of "I must get it before I die" ?
Is it that ever lingering thought in peoples' heads when they set their eyes on something they want that makes people work 101% to attain it?
Why??
Why do people not appreciate what they have if they've worked so hard for it initially?
Why do people fail to see that the value of "it" does not decrease. .
Why do people fail to realize that they will regret one day when they lose that something?

This happens daily in almost everybody's life. .
Example, one saves up money to buy the Mona Lisa and excitedly hangs it up at the most magestic spot they can find in their house. For the first few days, weeks, and months, he/she looks at it everyday and admire its beauty. . Then, another few more months pass by and he/she can just walk pass his/her prized Mona Lisa without even looking at it. . One day, the Mona Lisa gets stolen and he/she regrets not admiring it when its just up there on the wall. . Now, it's nothing but a blank wall again. . No more Mona Lisa. . But, it's too late. .

Is it because people get accustomed to having that something in their life that it isn't special anymore after time passes by?
Then why was that something ever special when they didn't have it?
Or, why is that something only special after they've lost it?

Sadly, the 'something' or 'it' used categorizes almost everything one can ever desire. .
Whether a person, animal, or an item. .
The same thing happens. .
The good news is that items do not have feelings (as far as we know) but. .
The bad news is that people and animals have feelings. .


So, why wouldn't people appreciate what they have until its gone??
And why would people even die for something they want when they won't appreciate it or it won't be special anymore later on??
Food for thought. .
