“If good things lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?”
— Bill Watterson
Simplified Meaning:
When we have good things in our life all the time, they start to feel normal, and we might stop noticing how special they are. Imagine you have a favorite treat, like ice cream. If you eat ice cream every single day, after a while, it might not taste as wonderful as it did when you only had it once in a while. The same idea works with experiences and people in our lives. When we only have them for a short time, we treasure those moments more. For example, think about a sunset. It's beautiful because it doesn't last long. If the sky stayed that colorful all day, we might not think it's special anymore. This quote is reminding us to appreciate the good things because they won't always be there. When something good happens, enjoy it fully and be grateful, knowing it's what makes life beautiful and keeps us feeling happy and fulfilled.
