Beacuse when we have what we're happy with, we always push for that little bit more, when it gets to unbearable for the other, they end up falling out of love with you and go. Then you realise that what you had, you were happy with, and that often wanting that little bit more or better will eventually push ithers away and we end up alone, back to the begining, swearing to never to do it again, but when it happens, life has a funny way of repeating itself. Sometimes we can break this habbit, and lord knows, most of us try to, but somewtimes it cant be helped, and they are the ones who never settle, wonder why they are by themselves and why the world suddenly seems such a lonely place to them.
Life is a learning curve, appreciate what you have got and embrace the true wonder of life - true love.

Yes it is very true. It is only when it is no longer around or exist due to some kinda of "pain" we begin to see..
What many times we see but we dont see... so sad. Seeing doesnt mean that it is Knowing, knowing but without Understanding we will never be able to truly appreciated what we have and who is around us.
Infact many time it is a very sad thing when we are in either position. It takes revelation inorder to understands. I have been in both position and i learnt to let go whenever i am disappointed. I also learnt to cherish and treasure what I have and I had now and before. As I freely received I will also learn to freely give and dont expect. It is an long walk of love and I am still far from it but I will take a step at a time, moment by moment.

Hindsight is always better than foresight. We tend to only look at the now! We do not look ahead enough. We need to be thankful for and in All things including circumstances! Hard? yes, but with God's help it can be done.
We get hot tempered, fly off the handle speak too soon, act foolishly etc. to cause reactions that later we regret, then say, O why? We cause our own set backs most of the time.
Be Appreciative for people and for circumstances and let them work for you and with you.

Because we never miss what we had till its gone - people take other people and things for granted whilst they have them - its only when we no longer have them with us that we realise what they meant to us and how valued they were to us - usually its too late to get them back after we loose them! Its a good question though - if you thought about it enough and learned to appreciate what you have when you have it, chances are you'd never loose them in the first place! xx

Like the saying goes, "You don't know what you had till its gone"
Thats because, we take things for granted which is fueled by a lack of appreciation! Life is to short so live each day like its your last.

i think this is one of the most true phrases, because we tend to take advantage of alot of things that we have..
i have realized lately how many things i have taken for granted..
it's like we don't realize how much we wanted or needed something until we don't have it anymore..
for example, this guy i was just dating...
he was always on me about how much i partied, and we'd argue all the time about basically nothing... so i left him, and about a few days later i realized that i enjoyed our bickering and missed it...
and him..
another example, i was put into boot camp when i was younger...
when i was there i was torn away from the internet, using a bathroom, and basically all the simple things in life that you again, didn't appreciate until it was gone...
well sorry for rambling... (too much coffee heh)
i think the only reason would have to be because we don't know how much something means to us, until we have to think about it, a memorize it...

*smiles* The eternal question.
Treated her poorly didn't you... Either that or you took things for granted and it all slipped away. Like sand in the wind.
We never appreciate the things we hold dearest to us because we assume that they will always be there for us.

Because people generally take what they have for granted assuming it will always be there. It's only when that person, or thing, has gone that we realise what a big part of our lives they were.

Because we tend to take things for granted as a means of self-preservation.
