VALUE...

Time and again this question has crossed the depths of my mind that what do we value most in our lives...Is it true that we realise the real worth of something only after we have lost it.

There may be numerous opinions about this but one thing that remains the matter of the fact is Loss plays a big role in understanding the value of what we possess at the moment. Untill we have lost in our lives, untill we have gone through the extreme pain of the emptiness of someone or something missing in our incomplete lives, we might as well not know how to value the people we should cherish in our lives. The intensity of the loss is the feeling that somewhere teaches and implants the feeling of equally intense love for the people we have. It would have been so much simpler and so much less painful if we need not have to lose something worthwile to gain this wisdom of worth.

Anytime in my life, when I feel that I am not valuing a person as much, I just put myself to think of how dreadful my life would have been in the absence of that person and the next moment I find myself loving and valuing the person a thousand times more.

Equally true is the fact that we do not know what we are missing in lives untill we have it. But to possess and not value is the biggest irony.

We may desire a thousand things in life but unless we learn to value the few things we already possess, none of our fulfilled desires will ever make us happy. Do not wait to lose something before you begin valuing everything else in life, because you never know - That Something might be your Everything...
