taken for granted

It is hard to see the ones we care about go through pain.  It pains us just to see that they are sad at all.  Sometimes we can't see the importance of those who mean the most to us until it's too late. Sometimes we don't notice how great of an impact they are until we don't have them.  Maybe it is better to let the relationship crumble to ruins and restart? Or maybe take a step back and enjoy the view for a moment?

People don't always understand the beauty of things right away.  At times we wait for our peers to judge, then we can see things in a better light.  Periodically, we have to be without to truly know the depth of it's potential absence. People have to make mistakes to learn, and without those mistakes acted on, we'd never know what makes us happier.

The French were not as crazy in love with the Eiffel Tower as the rest of the world has become.  They thought is was ugly.  The beauty of the skeletal architecture was unknown because it was misunderstood. The glamor was lost momentarily.  With time the world became madly in love with the tower, even though it's beauty was unseen at first.  Does this happen with love?
