This is the nature of man: he does not value what he has. Only when he loses it does he begin to remember how good he was before. And this concerns the situation of relationships with other people, attitudes to their own health or to the possession of some property.
There are many reasons for a person not to appreciate what he has at the moment. And the first one is addiction. A person simply gets used to a certain state of affairs, it becomes normal for him, so he ceases to perceive it as something joyful or extraordinary. If you have wanted to buy something for a long time, saved up for it for a long time and finally bought it, then at first you will appreciate the acquisition, enjoy its possession. However, after a while, such a long-awaited purchase will no longer seem so unusual to you, you will get used to its existence.
Sometimes this happens in a relationship with another person. The habit makes the relationship cooler, the partner may not even notice the other next to him. And now the value of intimacy disappears, there is no joy from communication that was present before. More and more time is devoted to each other's shortcomings, after which a break is quite possible.
No comparison - no value
The second reason for this lack of value is that a person does not compare what he owns at the moment with what was in the past or may be in the future, when he may lose something dear to his heart. As a rule, a person does not think about the fact that he can lose everything, he gets used to believing that his position will remain unchanged. As soon as a person thinks about the situation, how it can be bad for him without a loved one nearby or without his property, the value of this immediately increases in his eyes. Such representations are very useful to do from time to time, as they help to appreciate more what is nearby at the moment.
Live in the present and be grateful
This is also related to the unwillingness of a person to pay attention to the moment, to live in the present day. Most often, the individual is in dreams or thoughts about the future, sometimes he is busy with what he had in the past. But to live in the present moment, to appreciate it and everything around - few think about it. In addition, people are constantly in a hurry, this prevents them from seeing life as it is. This means that they should treat with respect and trepidation everything that is so valuable to them.
A person is inherently quite selfish, he does not have the habit of giving thanks for what he has. More often than not, he gets upset about what he is losing. The constant search for more and more profitable options, a better job, a more beautiful partner next to them, a more luxurious home environment makes people love and appreciate not what they already have, but a mythical image of a better future.
