This expression finds its place in conversations or written expressions related to encounters with breathtaking natural scenery, extraordinary works of art, awe-inspiring performances, remarkable acts of kindness, or significant life events.

What is the origin of the idiom "take it for granted" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "take for granted" can be traced back to the Middle English period. The word "granted" in this context refers to something that is assumed to be true or accepted without question. The phrase emphasizes the human tendency to become accustomed to or overlook the value of things that are consistently present or readily available. Over time, it has become a commonly used expression to convey the idea of not fully appreciating or recognizing the significance of something until it is lost or no longer accessible.
