"Long Term/ Short Term"

It seems to be human nature (I say this to avoid sounding self- obbsessive) to notice long term things more than short term things. "Before you say 'No.', just hear me out." Short term things don't hold our attention for long. Long term things seem to stand the test of time. Short term blessings, however, are exstreamly important.
Imagine a tool of metal and one of cardboard. The metal tool is for somthing that can be approached the same way every time. Somthings can't be approached the same way every time. So you're not stuck with some bulky thing you'll eventually no longer need, it may be made of temporary, bio- degradable material. Yet, when you need it-- you need it! You'd be lost without it. Metal or cardboard, they both share the equal task of getting us through our journey. It may be erroneous to assign one grater significance than the other.Long term things may cause us to be gratfull due to their obviousness. The hope is that just because we realize something's worth in retrospect-- it makes us no less thankfull.
