why do we always realize what we've got after it is gone?

Cause we are too busy watching life buzz by and we never really get to step off the bus and breathe anymore. It sucks when it does go though. PS We are capable of appreciating, its a choice and sometimes we need to be reminded. Love Heidi

Yeah, the same happens to me.  It's kind of like knowing everything that you need from a particular store, then when you get there, you forget half of what you went there for.

Because we are not truly happy when we get everything we want. Life is about choices.

The future and the past are only in our minds. All you have is the present, and if you cant concentrate on it, you are really missing out I guess.

you should grow up and realize the past is the past and there was a reason it ended before...

just coz u'r missing many pieces of the puzzle doesn't mean the end picture doesn't exist. \n\nsome people do remember their past lives and other people have used hypnosis to call these memories up. and others still who walk the peaceful path, like me, spending our hours learning to listen to our own hearts, we do learn to remember bits. i don't remember details of my past lives but i believe i came into this life already knowing things that others are learning for the first time or, in many cases, things that others are not even ready to learn yet. but i'm not an advanced soul, maybe not even intermediate. i've been thinking of undergoing past life regression, especially in my low days, but i'll keep putting it off until i can find a good enough reason to coz we're meant to figure it out for ourselves, that's why we're here in the first place. \n\nof course i asked the same question of the amnesia, who doesn't? the answer i received was that it's necessary so that we enter each new life with a clean slate. but even so it's only part amnesia. the soul retains everything through all the lives and in fact there are some people who suffer from injuries or traumas sustained from a previous life.

When you realize that all that has happened, is just about the only way it could work out, then you can accept the past, and begin to forgive, and forget. It sounds dogmatic, and implies predestination, but it's true. Go in peace...

Real Good Question. Since we know that we dont see the present state of the object, it is very much possible that it does not exist anymore. Probably we will realize it very much later.

TRUE YOU CAN NEVER LOOSE SOMETHING THAT YOU NEVER ACTUALLY HAD IN THE FIRST PLACE I MEAN THAT'S LIKE IF YOU HAD A CAR AND YOUR BEST FRIEND WANTED IT AND YOU WRECKED IT HE CAN'T MISS OR LOOSE IT BECAUSE TECHNICALLY IT WAS NEVER HIS TO BEGIN WITH AND IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A GIRL THAT YOU NEVER HAD THEN THE ANSWER IS TRUE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LOOSE SOMETHING THAT YOU NEVER HAD....

What if you found out what the point is?  What if you found out the meaning of life? Wuuld you be satisfied?  nope.  You wouldn't.  We are never satisfied.\n\nWe deal with those things because as living creatures is our nature to stay alive.  The the thought of losing a life is usually a lot worse than anything else.

Stop thinking just about what you should have done or what should have happened and accept what has happened...everything has a meaning behind it. Use experiences to learn from. Basically you just need to see what you have done and accept it and just know that there is no other way it goes or will go. The past has happened and that is the way it will be.

Because we like to flatter ourselves by thinking we know the answers to everything.

ever hear the tale of the dog with a bone?  he mistook a reflection in a creek for a better bone.  when he went for the "other bone" the one he had fell in the water and he ended up with nothing.  \n\ndon't let go of what you have, and leave the past in the past.

It all goes back to the old and oh so true saying. You always want what you can't have. I think on some level that we tend to go after what we cannot have. Even if at the surface we think we can have it, we know deep inside that we cannot. But that is usually for the best. In most cases, when you finally get what you want that you cannot have, it turns out you don't really want it, people included.

I pity people like you, I really do. You're the type of person who never experiences progress. You never move on. Sure, those years were great, but the new stuff's better. And if you don't accept that newer things can be better, eventually you're gonna run out of stuff. Cuz there's only so much stuff in the past. But there's an unlimited amount in the future.
