Things that we take for granted

I often ramble about things I do and things I don't. I often ramble about things I should have done and things I shouldn't have done. I often ramble about how I regret not to do certain or regret about doing certain things.

"life comes at you fast." Really? Today topic is about things that we often take for granted.

We often take our parents for granted. Yes, not all parents are fabulous. They don't always give you the best life. They don't always give you the best clothes, food, houses, or even emotional support. Some even abuse some. But in general, they give you life. And some might say... I owe my parents my life. I beg this to be different. I don't think anyone owes anyone's life. You weren't asked to be born. You weren't ask ed to be in the same family. It's the parents choice to have the children born. But anyway.. I'm deviating from the point I'm trying to make.... I think we take our parents for granted for many reasons. Only until they are gone, we remember the good time. And only until we are almost gone, we will remember what it is like.

We often take our health for granted. When we are young, we do things to harm ourself. Smoking, drinking, doing drugs, or simply just eating fast and junk food. We stock our bodies with high cholesterol and fat food. We stock our bodies with all the possible "toxins." High glycemic drinks, coffee for a short caffeine, chips for fun etc. These are not good for our health. Countless of time, I've seen people are overweight but they don't do anything about that. Sometimes I wonder what it really means. Don't they know.

We take our time for granted. Yes, we do. Tell me how much time you spend on the internet in the last few hours or the last day. What do you do? I know I spent a lot of time on the internet for nothing. Literally. It's very time-wasting but we haven't learned how to control our impulses just yet. We take our time for granted because we think we are young. Yes, we are young and we think we can fix our mistakes when we are given the time. But we never realize that we never give us time to fix because we always think that time is always there.

There are many more but that's it for now since I don't want to post such a long post ;)
