“Health is wealth.”
The measure of wealth is different for every person. Most people say that you are wealthy if you have a lot of money. Others say you are wealthy if you have many great friends, because you will never be alone. Some say you are wealthy if you have a loving family, because you will always be loved.
And yet, others believe that health is the greatest measure of wealth.
If we are multi-millionaires, what will it matter if our health is so poor that we can’t enjoy it?
If we have many great friends, what will it matter if, because of poor health, we cannot spend time with them?
If we have a loving family…..it just seems sad that we may have to leave them early because of poor health.
“Health is wealth”, to me, means that health is the most important. In order to enjoy the other things in our life that make us feel as if we are wealthy, we must look after our health.
And so, this proverb causes me to believe that:
A poor man with excellent health is wealthier than a rich man with poor health.
To me, the richest people are the healthy ones.
I agree with you. Sleeping on money is not really worth much if you are not healthy. How can you enjoy being rich if you are sick all the time?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree! All you have to do is become ill and find out just how unimportant everything else suddenly becomes.
