Good day Fellow Mylotters, I really do not know why there are some people who ignore things which surrounds them. Wherein, they do not recognize the importance of those things until another people will use them for a better purpose. That, they do not give value to the things until it is diminish. Is it really the trend or people will not really give importance until it is being owned and used by another.

Yes that is true , sometimes we only try to find and want things when they are already gone , and the sad side of it , we want it now and the strong drive is there , and we feel frustrated if we can't have it. When those things are still visible , we don't pay much attention . This is not a good trait , but guess most experienced it. But this teaches us a lesson , that we need to value things , may it big or small for those big things comes from small things. Life is not always abundance , time will come even small basic things we don't have , then thats the only time we will regret why we did not give attention. So while not yet too late , try to value even a minute things in your life most importantly value family , because one day one leaves which just don 't know when , might be too late to show affection and love ,so while they are around , hug , love and care for them.

It is often the truth. People usually do not want to take care of something, or give importance to it until things happen to where they realize all that they had, and find them wishing for it again. I know in my own life there are things that have happened that I took for granted. And then something happened to may me wonder why, but deep down I knew there is a Good reason for it, and I need to continue to Praise and Thank God for them no matter what comes my way.

Many times I find that people do not know the value of the things they possess or surround them until they see someone else use or appreciate them. Once they see it being used, then they seem to see the importance, but in some cases by the time they realize their ignorance, it is too late and they have lost the thing or the surrounding. Why people possess things they do not understand or for which they have no appreciation is amazing to me. Just to own something without a purpose, sounds a little obsessive, compulsive to me. Although I've known many people who have no observation skills. They could not see the value of anything without someone spending hours explain it and then it would depend on whether it peaks their interest or not. I don't think there is any trend to it, it just depends on the people you are around and what interests they have. It is what makes the world interesting. If people all liked the same things or appreciated the same things, it would be quite dull.

Too true. Everything around us is filled with good things. Most good things have become mundane that others have forgotten their importance. And they will only start to be concerned if the use of such a thing in their life is made known to them through limitations. Let's say, a forest is filled with trees. In order to make the raw land useful, the owner will sell it for a price. The next owner will cut down the trees and build a building on it. The original owner would miss his stroll on the forest, now what the next owner will miss is that since he's cut down the trees, the place could experience land slide or flood. This is indeed a very sad phenomenon everyone of us is guilty of.

I think it is not a trend. Maybe they give importance to those things, but they do not want to use it. I mean they bought some things from the mall and after that, they forgot to use it or they divert their attention to other things. When the time comes that someone will use those things, they do not want to give it to other person because it is like more a ‘property’ rather than ‘using it’ that is why they feel lose if someone will use those things.
