He isn’t even cold on the ground yet!”

Mr. Evans let out a sigh. "That's right. People are never satisfied. Once they get used to someone else's sacrifices, they start taking them for granted. "It's only after they lose something that they realize how precious it was. Too bad they don't understand that until it's too late."
