do you sometimes take the things for granted when you shouldn't do that?

well, things like love we get, food we eat, clothes we wear, house we live in, electricity, computer, wonderful life we experience.....
i do that most of times 
i hardly realize that most things we enjoy know are the result of hard painful works of lots of dedicated people. such as computer. how many work and research done to create the wonderful gadget. and internet. i am easily complain when there is a little bit problem with my internet connection, not realizing how much work they have to do to keep it functioning properly.
what about you?

Oh how right you are! We are truly a selfish, ungrateful society here in America! So many people go without the things we use every day! My family has been enduring a hardship for a couple of months now that has helped me to be more grateful. My husband, previously self employed, was injured on the job and unable to work for almost 3 months now. We are pinching pennies like never before!!! How awesome that we were able to apply for food stamps, and have family and friends to loan us $20 here and there. How many people don't have these abilities??

Yes .. it is human nature to take for granted what ever we already have .. We will work hard to get something, and once we have it we tend to neglect it ... it does not end there we too stop appreciating them .. this normally is felt in a relationship, obtaining a pet, buying of something special .. and many more which is near to heart ...

It is easy to take things for granted. I think that a lot of people do. I don't think that I should take things for granted though. Like having a roof over my head and a good husband and son to have.
You are right about the wonderful gadget we have called a computer. It must have taken a keen brain to get this thing to function. Yes, it can run slow sometimes but I am glad to have it.
