They never learned how. Or maybe never HAD to.

Oy vey. You and your deep questions. You just know Stableboy will be sniffing around on this one. Live in the moment. Enjoy each other. Love each other. Don't try to hold onto time, just appreciate what time you have. And while it's good to ponder these things, don't do it so much that you become paralyzed and let life pass you by.

I think it is common to not know how it feels to lose something or someone, So untill you do I believe it is easy to think, it or they will be there forever. I think it could be learned by listening.

If you can get into the habit of counting your blessings on a daily basis, it won't be so hard. Sometimes, or maybe most of the time, we are so focused on achieving, getting, striving, advancing, producing,getting ahead..that we focus on us, ourselves, our needs, our wants, our goals, our wishes and forget to pay attention to what surrounds us. :)

Slow down your life and notice.

i believe the only way we can learn is through our own mistakes and in the case of losing someone its always too late, but it can make you appreciate those around you more, as for being hard- its only as difficult as you want to make it!

Experience is an awesome teacher. Many people can't learn effectively by any other means. In a similar vein, I used to have a tag line on my e-mail that said "The problem with doing something right the first time is that no one realizes how difficult it was". I guess the answer is that there is nothing to compare to when your sample size is 1 event or object.

Familiarity breeds contempt: We don't recognize what a good thing (or person) we have because we see it (or he/her) every day. Our close acquaintance blinds us to the value of what we have. Like a prophet not without honor except in his own country. http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/55/messages/981.html Such a thinking is part of human psychology.
