things with life fetch zero

This is true though it sounds general.
This suits perfectly well for human beings.
No one values good people, no one cares, no one listens to them, no one thinks about them because they are alive.
Once a person dies or he becomes past, people start realizing his potential; they start praising how phenomenal he used to be; how great he was and all that nonsense people say when someone dies.
when that person was alive, no one would have talked about him. no one would have appreciated the things he did, about his attitude, his behaviour etc.
I observe this often in a family; a brother doesn't heed to a sister or another brother's advice; similarly sisters don't listen to their brothers. This is also common among wife and husband. one never listens to the other partner.


But when of the partner dies or the brother/sister dies, they start remembering what all their dear ones used to tell when they were alive. how insane is this?
You are not giving value to a person when he was alive and you start praising him after he is gone which doesn't make sense at all.


There are several examples to this and I quote just one here:


You have a beautiful rose plant in your house with red flowers blossoming every week but  you never appreciate its fragrance, nor you appreciate its beauty; but on one not so fine a day when it perishes or is eaten away by stray dogs/pigs, you start missing it and recollects how beautiful the plant used to be.


You damn fool!!! you never noticed it when it was lively and beautiful with all those red flowers but started missing it when its gone. you never tried to protect it, never watered it and never cared for it. what good it does when you start repenting after its already gone?


So my friends, the moral of the story is this:
please appreciate people when they are alive and present in front of you, please acknowledge their work and their efforts. Remember its not worth if you do these after that person is gone.
Acknowledge the person's value and his/her words.
