stop taking people for granted.

what i learnt from the disaster earlier and the news i received today is that
we should really stop taking people for granted.

i know. it happens. it all seems so natural.
its like we are all wired to getting used to things and later also assuming people as a part of our daily habit.
becuz if we didnt, it is likely we'd be stressed out of our minds every second of the day.

but it is a paradox.
when something big happens and you realize you may lose something you always have,
you would want to stop taking people for granted yet it is really difficult due to our nature.

however, that doesnt mean there arent actions we can take everyday to make sure we are always trying our best appreciating things in life.

i think the most important thing of all is being conscious.
notice what we are doing right now and whats around you everyday.

they were so consistent that we made it the wallpaper of our lives.

bring them out of the background that we are so used to.
for example, in my case, be conscious that i can go to sku everyday, seeing my favourite friends and teachers in the world and being accepted as exactly who i am.

if we dont stop taking things for granted, life will probably throw us a grenade so we will.
and by then, it would be too late to realize the wake up call.
