----- Why do people have to lose things to find out what they really mean? -----?

Answer 2

My theory
I believe is peoples natural ways that makes them want to avoid harmful things. we often take things for granted because we get too comfortable with it and not relize that it could be lost, when is lost we have sorrow lol over it and i guess sorrow is more noticable then common joy.
