When the tube is brand new, we don’t even look at it when squeezing out the paste. We use it lavishly as we indolently think or dream about some random things.
Later, when it is going to be empty, we suddenly become careful. We focus on it while squeezing, put in all the energy and value every blob.
The sad thing is that this very thing happens in life (and with life) as well.
At the beginning, when we have something in free-flow amount—love, money, eyesight, wealth, water, time, energy—we take it for granted and never give the value it deserves. Towards the end, just when we are about to lose it, we realise its true value and feel like fighting the world to not let it go.
This is one of hardest lessons in life that life teaches us the hard way.
So, let’s all appreciate ‘what we have’, before it turns into ‘what we had’.
