I recently got sick ,some kind of seriouness .All of a sudden, I realize that nothing in this world is more valuable than living healthily. Strangely,i kind of feel grateful to God that he fell on me this huge torture only in my twenties, for I will spend the rest of my time konwing that i should care for my body. I used to take my body for granted, but i do not now.

hy thr!! i agree with you. money come and go...we can earn it if we are fit and fine!! but once if we dont take care of health it takes hard to recover it!! so being concious abt is must. you are going to take good care of ur body is really good for u and all should give first preference to health ofcourse then money. and we never take things for granted. and i too always thank God forwatever i have been given in my life!!

Yeah, I do understand what you mean. It is not only when I am sick; even when I am down and out, I realize the importance of health. Money is important. But then, how can I earn without health? And to put it the other way round, health is important; but, how will I regain my wrecked health without the money to pay for doctor's bills? It is, I am afraid, like the story of the hen and the egg. Cheers and happy mylotting.

Hey colourless, Thanks for the insight. Yes i agree with you that nothing in this world is more important than a healthy life. Living healthily increases your lifespan while leaving wealthily decreases your life span. Money can buy anything but not a good health. Thanks for bringing this up and take care of your body.

hi, I also value health more than money. without health, what is the use of money? and being sick / ill will make us spend more money than when we are healthy. as some people said: "health is cheap, illness is expensive." anyway, I also value life for the most of it. and since I value the life, I value my health too, without health, I would never be able to spend this life in peace and excitement. so ... again, health is the most important one. :)

Really,my illness is too expensive ,not only in money but also in energy. You know,my parents put their whole energy and time on me, which makes me so moved . So, i will care for myself more than ever from now on and never let my beloved ones sad for me, never!
