Taking Something For Granted = Forgetting That It's A Privilege

This coming Friday is essay exam day again. I hope I pass because I don't like failing. No one does, and I apparently improved the last time so I hope I improve again. Anyway, back to the main topic. I watched 'The Dark Knight' on Thursday and most of what all the critics say is true. Heath Ledger (aka The Joker) does rule the entire show. Whenever he's gone you're just waiting for him to come back onscreen. It's kind of creepy actually, because he keeps killing all these people mercilessly and in real life, he's dead. Watching the movie also reminded me that when you die, (well if you're famous at least) your value goes up. =.= Does that mean that when you're alive people take you for granted and they forget that it's a privilege to have you around? Huh, kind of true. I take everyone in my family for granted and it's going to be really sad if they go first and I'm left here alone.
