The Chase

In my 22 years of life ,i have seen many things,understood and learnt a lot except one thing "The Chase".

"People will never value what they have". This is one thing which i havent understood.
Not every person ,but 90% of them(as in humans) would run behind something that they dont have..Be it any materialistic thing,any relationship,any person,a job etc ,etc. Its a very good thing to achieve something that you dont have ,but by not caring or disrespecting that already exists is wrong i guess.

I havent figured out the reason behind it . But i guess its human nature.The word for this kind of attitude is GREED. Everyone runs behind what they dont have and will forget about what they have.But there is a sad part to it,during this run they dont realise the importance of what they are loosing out on.

People take things for granted.Their attitude would be like."This is mine ,it wont go anywhere".
I wish it would be this way.Unfortunately,it isnt true.We realise only when ,the person is gone from our life or the relationship ends or the materialistic thing that we bought breaks or doesnt work any more.And then there is regret . There is a wish that it comes back,but it doesnt .The realisation happens after a very long time and its too late .
