“We thought we had such problems. How were we to know we were happy?”
i really like this quote because it says a lot about people’s naiveness. people are so unaware about what they have in life. this goes along with the saying, “you dont know what you have until its gone.” i definately agree with this saying because she doesnt appreciate all the wonderful, random things in life until she loses it. we never appreciate all the little things in life, for instance, the paintings hung inside our hotel room, or the bible that is placed in the nightstand drawer. how could anyone know that the things that they ignore, or push to the side, will never be available to them again? how could she know that her life would change and all she has in her room was a bed, a nightstand, and a window? how could anyone be happy in this world? the only way to learn that she was happy is to lose it and have the miserable life she has now.

Hi critical friend! =)
I also agree with the saying, “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.” It’s really sad, but it’s also true as well. It’s also sad how people have a lot of things in life (whether they be material things or not), and don’t even appreciate them while there’s other less fortunate people out there who would love to have the things that they do. Usually people don’t notice how lucky they are to have what they have in life, such as a house, a real family, a car, food on the table, etc. because they don’t realize that there’s other people in the world who live out on the streets and aren’t able to have all of those things. I agree with your post 100%!
