Everyday in life there are lessons to learn. EVERY SINGLE DAY! But, we hardly learn them.
In fact, sometimes we don't even know there are things we need to learn but there are lessons to learn and the knowledge from these lessons are to help us face tomorrow, to make our tomorrow better.
For every lesson we miss, we lose the opportunity to better ourselves. Ourselves meaning our spirit and that is our essence, the reason for living.
But we don't really care about our spirit, all we're bothered about is mundane things, physical things that can wither away at anytime, that can be taken from us as easily as snapping a finger.
We worry so much about temporary things and reject the permanent ones.
Most of us don't know the reason for our being, instead of living for a purpose, we just live because we're alive.
If at all we do live for a purpose, it'll be to gain physical things.
But that shouldn't be, because we're spirits. And so, our main essence should be spiritual.
