Do You Know What You Have?

This morning, I was relaxing and listening to music while getting ready for work. And it got me thinking…damn, do we take things for granted.

Imagine if you were involved in a terrible accident and lost your hearing. No more hearing your lover’s voice telling you goodnight. No more hearing your little brother laugh. Never again can you listen to your favorite song. Never again can you hear the sound of the waves at the ocean.

Now imagine if a miracle happened and you got your hearing back after having lost it for 5 years. Tears would come to your eyes as you hear the sound of your lover’s voice once again. You would treasure the sound of every single note of your favorite song, and you would go to the beach and close your eyes and just listen to the sound of the waves.

Now here’s my question…

Why not do that now?
