We as human beings, constantly underestimate our fragility.
We take a lot for granted. We don't mean to. It's just the way it seems to play out. Our lives revolve around instant gratification, dispensability, and an overexaggerated sense of self-worth, which rarely allows us the opportunity to look more broadly at the world.
Relationships come and go with the blink of an eyelid, toppled over by a magnitude of hardship about as violent as a zephyr. Grudges are forged from the most trivial of matters and alienate friendships or familial ties between people who really genuinely care about each other. Good fortune is recklessly squandered by greed and excess. And our health is something we don't know the importance of until it is challenged, usually in a grossly indecent attack on our mortality, through sudden near-fatality, or the loss of someone close to us.
We need to take more time to evaluate ourselves against the bigger picture. The good things in our lives are rarely cherished as much as the bad things are censured. And as the instigators of this illogical imbalance, only we have the ability to alter it.
So change it, before it's too late.
