People Really Value Things When They Have Something To Lose

Thnk: it's amazing how our perspective on things can shift so dramatically when we feel like we might lose them. 

When we have something that we often take for granted, it's easy to overlook its true value. But the minute we're faced with the possibility of losing it, everything changes. Suddenly, that thing we've been neglecting or underappreciating becomes the most precious thing in the world. We cling to it, we cherish it, we do everything in our power to hold onto it. 

This is just human nature - we tend to value what we have only when we're at risk of having it taken away. It's a good lesson for all of us to remember, to try and appreciate the important things in our lives before we're forced to. That way, we can fully savor them rather than scrambling to hold on at the last minute.
