This is my story...

Saturday, July 23, 2005

More often than not people appreciate things only when they are gone, only realising it is so precious to them and regretted not cherishing them when they were around. It can be almost anything; loved ones, simple objects with a certain sentimental value or even routine works of your life.

We tend to take things for granted when they are around us. That is human nature, people living in this busy society often overlook what is so dear and important to them only when these things or people vanish from them suddenly.

For most of my friends who know me, I play badminton. Although I am not some professional or whatever, I treat it as a sport which I can find relaxation and fun in it. I love that sport.

Then suddenly my racket broke today while playing. Ok it is only a racket, no big deal, anyways it's only 65 bucks, cheap stuff, it can be replaced in no time.

The thing is I have a sentimental value of it. The sport I love cannot be played without that racket. Often than not I did not appreciate what the racket could have done for me, accompanying me to games and all that. Now it's gone, I have started to feel that it was such a powerful tool for me and it is gone forever.

I do not know how to start appreciating people around me. Maybe that is my weakness. When they were around me I did not show the utmost support and concern, but only to realise that I have regretteed not doing things which I suppose to do when they are gone.

This racket is not the only lesson I have be taught. Previous years events which occured upon me brought up the time and again regretfulness which was felt in me. I let those who are precious to me slip away from my very hands, and until that I felt so hurt which nothing could have bring them back to me.

Not matter how much regret I have suffered for the past years, life still goes on. I am for one who feel really emotional when it comes to things like this, which concerns feelings and all sorts of that rubbish you can mention.

If I have that one chance I would choose to get back the things which I have lost and cherish them and appreciating them.

Maybe the world will be a better place if everyone appreciates one another, and we will die with less regrets and remorse.
