"Taking XXX for granted"

This phrase has been used
over and over again by many
over and over again in many situation
over and over again under different circumstances

But sometimes
do you ever wonder why
even though such common term
even though every one noes this term
yet everyone is making this sinful mistake

today
it hit me
probably this phrase has a deeper meaning
this phrase is not simplified well enough (even though it is as simple as it seem at this pt)
well perhaps
this explanation will help
" the more you acquire, the less you feel"

and so it linked explicitly or implicitly to the phrase "Taking XXX for granted" 
many a times 
because we already have acquire something 
be it friendship, wealth, love, family,  health (the most common) 
we tend not to feel it at all 
because we have been having it all these while 
it will be until the day you lose it 
the day where you lose acquiring it - you will indeed feel more about it

Here is wad i picked up from the book i m currently reading 

*quoted from ONE Fifth Avenue 
Money wants what it CAN'T buy. 
Class and talent. 
And remember that. 
While there's a talent for making money, 
it takes real talent to know how to spend it
Well in terms of wealth here it is 
Think  deeper in terms of health per se 

We acquire health 
in fact most of us did
the moment we come to earth 
but it sad to know 
that those who treasure health 
and fight for the right to remain here 
are those that are not born with 
perfect tip top health conditions 
it will only be the day where we are down with something serious 
then will we start to feel sorry 
regret over what we lost 

What about family, and love ones 
inevitably 
we regret the things we did 

regret not making certain statements such as "i m really sorry for making a grave mistake"
regret making certain statements such as "i will never want to see you again" 

regret not carrying out certain actions such as clearing still water around the house, so no wants get bitten by deadly mosquitoes, or clearing the house up for your parents to show them you love them, getting small surprises up for ur partner to tell them that they have not been forgotten for the love they have given to you 
Regret performing certain actions like shouting or yelling at them, hitting them, making a fuss and make the relationship sour 

and yet regret 
and crying over spilt milk 
always comes right after 
you lose acquiring it 
... indeed the more you acquire, the less you feel 
... and of course the less or rather none you acquire, the more you feel 


well on a side note 

Bear this in mind 
While focusing on ur dream 
dun forget to look at what you already have 
while looking at ur dream 
you will stay young and youthful 
by not looking at ur regrets 
... But learn from them =) 

Eve out
