Asalam alikum, I hope all steemians are doing great. Topic of the contest is quite thought provoking and I hope it will give us all opportunity of reflecting on the blessings that we have in life.

Easy come, easy go is a phrase which carries the connotation of losing something quite soon if it is attained very quickly. It may not be the case in all situations and circumstances but in majority cases it is seen that if people get something without hard work and effort then they do not value it. Our Holy Book Quran says that humans are ungrateful by nature, we are blessed with so many blessings from Allah Almighty that we do not even realize.

There are so many examples from our daily life . For example the recent epidemic of corono made us realize importance of all the relations. Which we take for granted. When we were not able to mingle with them we realized how timings before corono were blessed. Those who were seriously ill had to buy oxygen which costed a lot and Allah gives it to us for free. Our life is full of such examples, forget about other blessings , take any part of body if it stops functioning then repairing it takes an arm and a leg.

So it is nature of humans that makes us ungrateful, then Allah has His own ways he makes us work hard for the things that we need to value. The phrase of contest refers to the same situation where we do not value and underestimate things and people that we get in life without hard work.

Yes I remember electronic dictionary that my brother sent me from abroad. When I got that I said to him that you should have sent me dictionary that has pronunciation too. He said half heartedly that ok next time I will send you one with pronunciation. But within a month someone stole that dictionary and i really felt bad for my brother's hard earned money and I felt bad for not thanking him for that gift. After that I made sure to appreciated each and every thing in my life because every thing has got its own value. We should not underestimate anything. I have seen people around me too who do not value what they have in life and they keep on whining about things that they do not have.

If success disappears in a short time then I try to focus on learning that it has imparted to me and I ponder on reasons of its vanishing away. This practice helps me a lot in life ahead. And I am more cautious of not repeating same mistakes again.

The lesson that I infer form this phrase is that we should value each and everything that we have in life. We should value our all senses that include hearing, sight, touch, smell. We should value all the systems in our body and take care of them. We should value our all relations and facilities that we have, so on so forth. We should strive for more but we should not underestimate what we have. Because if we are not grateful then Allah Almighty takes that blessing away from us.

I think true love always value a relationship. If a person loves you he or she will not underestimate you even if he or she gets you without facing difficult situation. Sometimes it is just physical attraction that brings near two people and after some time they do not feel same attraction. It reminds me a quote of Shakespeare:

"Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O no, it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand'ring bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken."

I will briefly explain it, Shakespeare says that true love even if finds changes in the beloved even then feelings for beloved are not changed. Love has the power to withstand all the variables.

So I sum up with conclusion that we should not strengthen the idea behind easy come easy go, instead we should value everything in life.

I invite @abyousafzai, @jasminemary, @hamzayousafzai and @drhira to this contest.
