you didn't know before that it was rare or precious. for people like us who are used to the idea of not being able to decide when our lives end, we know that we have no idea how much time we're going to get. we know if we start a project that's going to take time, maybe more than we have, we might not even get to see the end of it, and that we might not get to do everything we wanted to do.
coming from that kind of place... if something's all you know, then you sort of take it for granted. that's just how things are. you wouldn't know what you really had, otherwise.
