I agree whole-heartedly with the saying “Health is Wealth”. If a person is not healthy then he or she will find it very difficult or even impossible to enjoy life, even though he or she may be very wealthy.
If I am asked to choose one of two of the following things, which I prefer: health without wealth, or, wealth without health? Without hesitation I will choose the former. There is no doubt.
Wealth is generally related to how much money a person has, that is, how rich he is. My uncle is very rich. He has just about all anyone can hope for, and some things that nobody dares to hope for. That’s how rich he is. He lives in a huge mansion guarded by huge Dobermans and sophisticated burglar alarm. He has expensive cars, furniture, paintings and other toys of the rich man. Well, he has everything except good health.
Where he goes, he carries a bag of medicine. He has to take the tablets at a weak heart, diabetes and hypertension. He is sixty years old and has spent his life accumulating wealth. Without a doubt, he has managed to become very rich. However, he has also managed to become very unhealthy too. He laments the lack of his health and said how he wished he was young and healthy again. Unfortunately, he can not recover his health back.
This example of wealth without health is not what I want to follow. It is absurd to have so much material wealth, but being unable to enjoy it. What is the use of money when you need to take so much medicine everyday just to stay alive? How can you enjoy life when one’s body is weakened by illness and pain? No wonder my uncle regrets so.
Health without wealth is much better. That is what I have now. I do not need to worry, even a little bit about what I can eat or do. I eat and what I like because the body is healthy. Of course I can abuse it by taking drugs or over exerting yourself. I take good my body. In a way I stay healthy.
With health I can go about my work with joy. If I become rich, it is okay. Then again, I may lose my wealth, but that’s okay too. I can always do what I enjoy if I’m rich or not. I can play games, swim in the sea, climb hills, eat delicious fruits and appreciate what this beautiful earth. This is definitely a lot – to be healthy and happy.
