"... you never know what you've got 'til it's gone..."
From the song "Big Yellow Taxi - Counting Crows"
"Don't it always to go, you never know what you've got 'til it's gone..."
Why is this so rampant? Why do things have to be this way?
This is something that is universal. When it comes to Loving, it is one's worst nightmare. Imagine turning someone down for so long and yet he/she perseveres... where in the end gives up and you realize that you've grown fond of him/her... You miss hm/hr, you want to be with hm/hr but he/she already has someone new. All you can do now is to stare. Stare at "the one who got away" when all you had to do was reach out your hand... BEFORE.
What do we want to happen here? To understand why such things happen.
Obviously most of the things I will write here are opinionated. But it would be the best I can come up with for now...
I see it more like a pseudo-Love thing. It tries to emulate the feeling of Love. But on the other hand, it could be true Love. What's hard in talking about Love is that the concept itself is abolute but there are infinite manifestations. Anyway, going back to the topic, we tend to put things that are "easily available" aside. We can't simply change this because it is part of us. For an example, take a guy, who is being treated specially by girl A. He keeps on overlooking her and checks on other women. After getting a girlfriend, girl A gets disappointed and leaves him alone to be happy. After a few weeks, they break up and the guy realizes that he really wants girl A. The sad thing is girl A finally found someone (a best friend) who will Love her.
It is indeed so cliche. I'm sure most of us heard such stories before... But it really doesn't help much in making us better decision-makers. We still tend to overlook people who are really there and long for someone who will exactly fit our standards. This is the primary cause of regret. With the thought of overlooking in mind, we might want to look at the people who are there for us twice before looking at others. This way, we get to give other people a chance and give ourselves also a chance to avoid having regrets.
Masaya nanaman ang aking mundo. Hehe... Love it!!!
