Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Maybe people who are very young and naive, those who have an easy life take it for granted, but I don't think people who have struggle or been seriously ill ever do!. I don't think "older" people take it for granted either, you can't if/when people around you die!.!.!. when your animals, friends or family die, it makes you think about your own mortality!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do think that most of us do take life for granted, not appreciating the small things that should mean something to us!. Some people abuse themselves time amd time again, and some people abuse others, forgetting how precious that life is!. We were given the gift of living and should sit back and look at what we really do have occasionally!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

People do not have a choice to be born, we need play our best card forward for what we have been dealt, you may be facing problems which i may not be facing and vice-versa, i don't think you can take life for granted when you do what satisfies you or makes you happy without intruding on someone Else's right!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
