Well yes. Very true. But what about it??
Are you wanting to start a discussion on it. Debate it. Or is there something that were you hoping for in stating that?? Did you want to provide some sort of quote from a health related website that supports your idea or statement or were you hoping that someone else would do it for you??
For sure health is important if you don't want to end up in a care home for seniors where they tell you when to eat, provide a limited menu in many cases and where the food is gross to begin with, when to go to the bathroom, when to get up in the morning and send you to bed when they want you to go to bed, wash your clothes even though they're not even dirty and the washing machine leaves holes in your clothes every time, leave your shirt dirty after you've finished eating and inadvertently soiled it while eating rather than give you a change of shirt because they tell you their too busy right now, leave you in your adult sized diapers soiled for half the day rather than take you to the washroom and give you a change and clean you up instead, where the doctor just comes in for about 2 seconds and says 'Hi. How're you do'in. Bye for now. Nice see'in ya. Chow' rather than actually spend an appropriate amount of time in continuing their ongoing health assessment of you in person, and where no-body else knows you nor do you know anyone there because everyone is in the same shitty situation as you are.
Oh, ya. For sure health is important.

whose grey top shall tremble,
He descending, will Himself,
in thunder, lightning, and loud trumpet’s sound,
ordain them laws".

Oh, oh. Better use LINUX.
one could say that in this regard it is quite probable that taking care of your health might simply postpone the inevitable, that it might not be sufficient to avoid this outcome, which is probably the most common way of spending one's 'last days' as a human - it could also be said that financial resources can help by having a wider range of homes to choose from, where the available care might be more decent or appropriate than that of the low-cost ones - depending on one's situation/state, one's own family might not even be an option for various reasonsOriginally Posted by SealLion
health, in this sense, would be important primarily to sustain one's physical body, to keep it functioning optimally as long as possible or as long as it is needed, which is useful to avoid (many) (unnecessary) physical problems resulting from improper body maintenance - luckily, the body is able to function relatively satisfactory in a wide range of situations & conditions, so its not like one has to be constantly obsessed by one's physical state - interestingly enough, everything that is normally considered beneficial for the body may act in a detrimental way if either applied insufficiently (rare/inadequate/insufficient maintenance) or excessively (fi. too large or frequent dosages/intake, excessive maintenance, professional sport, extreme sports,...), so one has to find a quality middle ground to achieve best resultsOriginally Posted by SealLion
however, there are other forms of health, when viewed more generally, ones that are essentially more important than physical health:
- psychological/mental health, which is amateurishly (mis)treated by mostly incompetent personnel & therapies and covered by likewise weak science, whereas just like any other form of health, it is primarily a personal issue which is most adequately addressed by the individual, ie. by oneself - the rest may only serve as more or less useful external advice, though not as a real solution that would ensure one's optimum health (of this form/type)
- as the most important (and you guessed it: also the most degraded or worst maintained one in our so-called advanced society) would be the so-called spiritual health, which could be further explained as: one's alignment with the essentials of the universe (where 'alignment' means: 'living by' or 'according to' or 'immersed in' or 'dedicated to' or 'devoted to', where 'essentials' means: that which is fundamental, at the same time all-pervading and all-encompassing, having the ability/characteristic of including any common dualistic (mis)representation/viewpoint into a meaningful completeness, where 'the universe' is meant as: 'everything that exists'), which is also the true meaning of the word 'holy' (spiritually healthy)
'wealth' (wealth=abundant supply, abundance of valuables) is irrelevant, what one does with that which one has (like health or anything else, regardless of its value) is what counts, where one goes (or ends up) from one's starting point is what counts (like one's life cycle), what one learns and how one applies that knowledge is what counts - not the abundance or wealth of options or paths or data/information, or in other words quality over quantityOriginally Posted by OP
