Health is wealth; the best of both worlds. Everyone wants to be healthy. But what good is health if you are not wealthy?
To be able to say that Health is better than wealth is the very important thing. Wealth is the power of money in our lives. We need money to live. However, Health is also an essential human need and it can never be taken away from us. This is because our bodies and minds need proper nutrition to stay healthy and strong.
It is sad but true that lots of people are very poor physically and even more so Lifestyle. In our world today, money rules everything and the phrase “Live without money” is nowadays not possible. Health is the last and most important thing we have. Our physical being is not so good as it should be. In our culture today, to be healthy means overweight, out of shape, with pale skin and ugly teeth.
Health is the ability to enjoy life, to breathe easy, to eat right, to be happy. If we don’t have good health, then we cannot enjoy life. There are many things that are part of having a healthy lifestyle and one of those is having wealth. However, the problem is that many people who seem to have abundance are really lacking in many important things in their life. Health is really important, but wealth is only important in the eyes of some people.
One famous Chinese proverb says: “A man who wants to achieve long-term prosperity should forget wealth and forget health. He should seek health and wealth, but above all, he should understand that without health and wealth, life will cease to exist.” So it is clear that wealth and health do not go together. And the famous Chinese proverb is true.
People need to understand that health is far more important than wealth because health will prevent many problems such as heart disease and cancer. Wealth also contributes to well-being but in a different way. For example, let’s say you are a person who has plenty of wealth but you have poor self-discipline and poor eating habits. Health will prevent you from having any serious problems such as heart disease and cancer, but wealth will not help you achieve these things.
Many people argue that rich people buy health and wealth for themselves but I think this is an extreme view. First of all, you should be thankful to have all the wealth you can afford because it is a gift. Next, you should have the motivation and desire to become a better person so that your wealth and health will enable you to do good deeds every day and bring happiness to your family and to the world. Many times it seems that the problems we have are not caused by evil people but by poor choices and lack of self-discipline. You might be poor now but in ten or twenty years, you will have a better lifestyle and more money to enjoy than you now have. And don’t forget, if health and wealth sometimes do not mix, then you will have to choose between the two.
In short, if you want to remain healthy and happy, you should try to buy good health and wealth. Health and wealth do not just appear overnight but you can achieve them if you work hard for them. Remember that health is more important than wealth because it will prevent you from experiencing sadness and suffering and from diseases like heart disease and cancer. Wealth and health sometimes do not mix and you have to choose between the two.
