We are by nature astonishingly heedless and incapable of gratitude. We
can spend a whole lifetime enjoying various benefits and not appreciate
their value until we are deprived of them. How many lovers boldly
contemplate separation, fondly imagining that they have had enough of
the beloved. And yet as soon as they actually experience separation,
they burn up with longing.
