Do we have to lose or miss somthing or someone we possess

Its not that we 'have' to lose them, its just that we only notice once they're not by our side anymore. Its kinda like we take their presence for granted that we think they're not going anywhere or that they will not leave us or something like that, but once we dont get to see them that often we think about them and the times that we have spent together. Though there are those people who already recognize the true value of their loved ones. Sad thing is that they will miss their loved ones even more terribly since they already know their loved ones' worth.

Hello balasri! That is really true. I don't really understand why it has to be like that. When my computer crashed the first time, that is the time I understand how important it is to me. It was like a crazy day to me.

I think most of us are guilty of taking life, people, even animals and our beautiful countryside and world for granted! It's true that we don't miss something until it's gone. How many times have we taken someone for granted one day and the next they are gone and we suddenly realize just how much they have done for us! Sounds like my ex, my ex took me so much for granted and when I left my ex I left apparantely without blowing my trumpet a big hole behind! My ex was completely lost without me! No one to do the housework, to be the taxi driver to be company and to listen to them! It's sad in a way that some people take others for granted and it's only when they nearly lose them that they rethink their lives, well most do anyhow!

I think, in my case after having learnt a lesson. I do not take things for granted and special people are always special and I treat them thus always. Like I love my parents, sisters, family, dear friends. They are precious and I covet each moment I share with them. I do not have to miss them or lose anything from them to realise their value, it doesn't work that way. May be its true for materials and our teeth...

I think we will surely miss if it is gone or away for quite a time. There are people that we do care about, people close to us. The moment they are away, or perhaps gone, we will surely miss them. Sometimes the thought and the memories of being with them, the good times and the bad times will make us miss them more. Sometimes, when only feel this things when they are already gone. Well, I have a lot of memories in my mind of a person I miss dearly..... I do cry sometimes.

That is one of our human frailties to take things or people for granted as a result of which we never realize their value until they are gone. We never miss the sunshine until it starts to rain, the light until it gets dark, the affection of someone until we lose it and so forth. And what is so tragic about it is that sometimes when we realize their importance, it is already too late to get them back.

When we loose or forget something within us , we realise it only when we have lost it. When we loose someone or miss someone , do we really know what that person means to us. It does not need to be that way. It's because we tend to sometimes take things for granted. The true value of those things and people is always there. All we need to do is recognise and acknowledge from time to time.

it is said that the GRASS AWAYS LOOKS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.ONLY when we miss a person or a thing,only then we understand their true value. happy posting

'out of sight,out of mind' there is much truth in the saying.You will really miss someone not having seen him for quite sometime.

This is very sad ,but most people only appreciate others when they are no longer with us. Also, most of us americans take a lot of stuff that we have for granted. Not too long ago we suffered an ice storm here in Kentucky ,and we were left with no electricity for a week ,and we were going crazy. Well, this experience taught me that there are probably people in the World with no electricity ,and I don't see them complaining ,and they seem to manage with so little.

It need not be so at all balasri. There is so much wisdom in the words- don't take anything or anyone for granted. If the person is truly precious for us then we must acknowledge the fact and show it to the person in question too. Going away to make the value felt means we do not cherish our loved ones.

yes I think so. Many times we don't realize how much something means to us until it is gone and we can no longer just take advantage of it.

Hi balasri! I think that there are a lot of people that do. By having something or someone in their everyday life they get used to having it there and it's nothing special. But when it is gone..that throws up a red light and they realize what an important part of their life it was. I try and appriciate all that is in my life but I can not say I am entirely innocent of this. I think that we all have something if we think about it that we take for granted.

hai, i feel if we possess someone really then there is no cance to lose but due to some reason he/she may be away from us then we can miss them.if u really love them and they also then noone and any situation u cant loose them.so remove ur fear and give more love and affection to ur lovers,by doing this u will get confidence.

Hi bala, most times I think that is so true! But fortunatley I have only been put in that situation once, yet know a lot of people who are or have been in that situation also people who just can't seem to help but put themselves in that situation..it is a crying shame that we do have to lose things/someone before we realise the value of what we had...littleowl
