What are some things most people take for granted?

Tywin Lannister

I will not detail any real-life scenario here. But I will put it like this :

People tends to take for granted the things what they have already…

• A jobless person takes for granted the support his/her parents are giving him…
• An eligible single bachelor takes for granted the job which is providing for him…
• A married person often takes for granted the love & dedication of his beautiful wife whom he chased so much once…
• A married person with kids takes for granted the emotional needs of his/her partner, since the child/children are their sole focus point…
  

I tend to remember Sansa Stark’s quotes in GOT - “I am such a foolish girl…I never respected what I had…”

I feel people take for granted whatever they have and run behind things which they don't have.The art of being content with what you have is something every person needs to learn on their own.

People take for granted in my view the following
a) the present set of circumstances shall continue. either way-good or bad
b) if you are really good at what you do, those around you will continue to tolerate you and no challenge would arise to your authority in future
Outcome of this thought process:
You are unprepared for bad times or if good times do come you do not take advantage of the same
you cease to grow and develop for the next round of challenges

Some things most people take for granted are actually people. We take our close ones for granted..we sometimes hurt them intentionally or unintentionally but very don't apologise just because we take them for granted thinking they will never leave but that is our biggest mistake.

Some times in India, we take generosity shown on us as granted

We are human beings. We try to get things with minimum effort as we feel that we are destined for the same,

In democracy we take freedom of expression as granted and tend to forget it must come with responsibility
