Why?

Why don't we know what we have until it's gone? Sometimes people are so clueless. We don't even realize all of the things we take advantage of. We take atvantage of the fact that we're free. We take atvantage of the fact that we are able to walk, to talk. We take advantage of the fact we have running water! We don't realize that all of these things could disappear almost instantly. We take atvantage of the fact that we have parents that care enough to homeschool us. We take atvantage of the fact that our houses have heart and air conditioning. There are people all over the world without any of those things, yet we continue to live our lives life there is absolutly nothing unusual, and maybe it doesn't seem like there is, but...compaired to a lot of people, we live like royalty. Anyways, all I'm asking is for you to count your blessings, because you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.
