I went to watch 'Click' yesterday, and i actually cried at the part where Adam Sandler rewound to the last time he met his father before the latter passed away.

I realised something - that so many shows and books nowadays focus on the relationships we have in our lives, and how we neglect them.

They all espouse the appreciation and sacredness of these relationships, and every single time we watch them, we think about how blindingly obvious these facts are.

But after shedding these sentimental tears of realisation, we all go back to the way we used to live.

We go back to neglecting those things which make up such important parts of our lives.

We go back to concentrating on all the problems we have in our lives, all the things we don't want to deal with.

Instead of looking at the things which are going right in our lives, for me, the steadfast, non-transient things.

Like family and friends.

And letting them all know how much you care for them, and love having them in your life.

We forget to thank our parents for always being there and giving us the best they can afford.

We forget to thank our friends for always being there to listen to us bitch our the same problems over and over, and for being crappy along us.

I forget alot of things, but i hope that i will learn factor in appreciation of all the things i have in my life into my everyday perspective.

Instead of relying on movies and books to jolt these realisations.
