Take Thing For Granted

We always take thing for granted. This especially so if we are so used to a particular thing or area or person. For example, we will not make extra effort to understand the true meaning of religious teaching that we embraced since the day of our birth simply because we thought we knew everything. Similarly, we will not pay a visit to even a famous place of interest closer to our home simply because we thought we saw it so frequent and it is such an easy way of reaching it. However, if i could ask how many of us have visited the National Zoo or National Palace? Many might not have crossed their mind of visiting these places.

Sometime due to complacency, we tend to let go a lot of opportunities. We used to say don't worry chances will be recurred again and it does not really happen at the end of the day. At time it is also because of our apathy towards an event. We do not see the need to participate in the planning process as we do not know how to plan or voice out for ourselves and our future generation that the model of development we envisioned. We will only react if the bulldozer came to our doorstep or we are really bothered by any negative impact of development.

The World is moving at faster pace now and urgency is the order of the day. So, take thing for granted, apathy and complacency are obviously go against the pace of the day. Unless we take proactive initiative, we will risk of losing out any opportunities available.

Similarly to the issue of climate change, whether we rectify it now or never.
