Health or wealth, which is better ?

Health or wealth, which is better ?

"You see your health, if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience: health is our second blessing mortals can. Blessing that money can not buy." - Lzaak Walton

These words of wisdom, no one will question its effectiveness. But sometimes when people do that on the health value for the money. When a person is deprived of things for too long, his desire for it: because the money is a commodity needs of people want money to meet their needs. It can help to build a house or rent. It can buy medicines, clothing, fruit and food: it can pay the small pleasures of life and large - from a cup of tea to take holidays abroad. Aesthetic and cultural enjoyment - latest play, a night at the opera, expensive books, the latest LP - all that money, you can buy tickets.

 There are too many things that get in the middle and working classes. Good education, expensive sports like ice skating and golf games, driving comfort, has a comfortable life gadgets - these are people with limited incomes and can not be bought. Thirties unprecedented unemployment responsible for a great deal of human suffering and the loss of self-respect and dignity. It also forced people to recognize the worth of money lead to disproportionate attached to the material world.

Undeniable value of money and enjoy the fun of it, but there are basic issues involved. If you can get a huge amount of money after the sacrifice worth it? Humans really need to increase their demand and temporary happiness? Still be wise to impose self-restraint requirements? People get so busy getting money, they forget how to enjoy it. Engaged in the lucrative business, people have no time for his family or his friends, and sometimes not even have time for his health. On the other hand, the pursuit of money may affect his physical and mental health. In his desire for power and money, he could overcome his initial scruples. The next question is how much evil is reasonable to get good.

If a person has a choice, even if there is no choice, health is better than wealth. A healthy person, you can not just take care of himself. He could be a useful social, a member of the family. He could generosity and compassion in his thought is constructive. A sick person, whether man or woman is someone else lost. And money can buy medicines, pay resort visit or long-term hospitalization, but it can neither buy health nor happiness. It is irrelevant that a person can buy a pair of expensive shoes, if he has no shoes. Ultimately, whether a person dressed in expensive clothes, or driving the latest model of luxury cars, is also irrelevant. The most important thing is how good a person, he yes. 

To do this, he needs health. If he is healthy, his whole attitude to life will be affected by this factor. Ask a person who has been through a long illness and poverty equally long spell, he would choose health. The value of money is a man of the world - rather than the creation of the world God. Health is one of God's grace, let us appreciate it.
