appreciation.
it seems like a topic that if an argument arises, can go on forever and ever.
who can measure appreciation? and who can say that appreciation ought neccesarily be translated into obvious "I DO APPRECIATE YOU" actions?
more than often, appreciation is in the form of very subtle little things. and the concern and gratitude from it may be expressed in ways the other party don't quite get it. if one feels appreciation, then it exists. but if the heart totally voids of appreciation from the other party, then two common possibilities arises- either there really isn't much love to appreciate, or its insecurity and uncontentment or the refusal to be open to the appreciation.
you may be wanting more, or you may be saying its simply not good enough. whatever your purpose of saying "you dont treasure me enough", have you thought of the forms of appreciations you envision taking place, in other words, set expectations? why not think of how much time and effort and trouble the person is taking to hold himself/herself in the argument, that could go on and on and he/she apparently can shrug it off by saying "its you who don't feel it" but instead dwell on it, and doesn't that amount to how much he/she treasures you, enough to show he/she doesnt want to lose you just yet, enough to show appreciation?
to appreciate, to express appreciation, to feel appreciated, all takes effort, and an open heart to see things and people for what they truly are, and generously credit them for it.
one can start, of course, by appreciating the life he/she is given.
if i shut my eyes, my world is black.
if i open my eyes, my world is equally black
not unless i learn to see the existence of colours
and the beauty that comes along with it.
