Imagine you have a lot of money but you are lying on your hospital bed, and now imagine that you are young and have absolutely amazing health but you are begging on the streets.
Which one suits you the most? What would you pick, Health or wealth?
Confused?
Well, anybody would be confused. Because in neither of the two options you find yourself happy. And happiness is important.
But if life puts you at a crossroads like this or just this question has suddenly come into your mind, I am here to help.
I will try to find the answer by breaking down the good and the bad aspects of firstly choosing health over money and secondly choosing money over health.
So let this battle of health vs money begin!
[PS: Here you will get to know Education vs Money – Which is More Important]
Let us choose money over health
When in the beginning, I gave you two choices to pick between health or money, this thought must have definitely come to your mind that, if you pick money, health will be taken care of because money can provide you with all the medical facilities you need.
It takes care of not only your but even your family’s health. So why not pick money? Well, it’s true but how good do you think is this life?
A life that is spent mostly on earning money and then lying on the hospital bed using that money to cure the illness that you acquired because of the excessive hustle you did in order to earn more and more money to look rich!
Don’t you think you forgot to live? Don’t you think you would have been much happier if you had relatively less money but enough time to spend with your family?
We must acknowledge the fact that, while running after money and at the time of hustling, our family was always by our side supporting us, and worrying about our health.
Now when I am talking about health one should know that health is not just physical health but also mental, emotional, social, and even spiritual. If there is an imbalance of any of these, we feel lonely and sad.
But now since you have chosen wealth you must also realize that no matter how much money you have in your pocket, with wealth you cannot buy health.
And now, let us choose health over money
I think whatever I mentioned above must have made you think deeper about the choice you should make between health and wealth.
A very popular proverb that you must have heard in your childhood very truly states that ‘Health is Wealth‘. If you have health, you have won the best of both worlds!
A healthy person with a healthy mind will do whatever he/she can to acquire enough wealth for surviving and thriving in this world that revolves around money.
And if one keeps running after money, he/she will, in fact, start losing all his/her wealth which proves that good health is better than wealth.
Now have you thought about it this way, that health and wealth are interrelated?
If you slightly change your perspective you will come to realize that it is a cycle, as we discussed above health is considered wealth, and generally, wealth makes almost every human being happy, and happiness leads to wonderful health! AMAZING right?!
Today, a lot of people are losing their loved ones even when they have money because even a doctor can’t prevent a person (who has a severe illness) from dying. So, why take yourself to that stage, and deteriorate your health so much?
Better make it a priority.
Conclusion
So, we have reached the conclusion part. Okay Look, I am not blaming anybody here. With the increasing competition, these days everybody is a hustler and the world is becoming extremely fast-paced day by day.
Due to this, youngsters particularly do not take care of their health at all, which leads to consequences in the future. But taking time out for your health is very important as health is the most important wealth.
Hence, in the end, I want to urge you to sit down and think again, who, according to you, has won in this battle of health vs wealth?
