The Health & Wealth Enigma
Good morning,
Is bacon and egg our breakfast anymore ?
Which comes first, health or wealth ? Apparently, this health or wealth priority has become an enigma, something like the chicken and egg theory. Why should this be so ? Strangely, this just became so; the topic has become a bandied about question, and even to the extent that surveys are being carried out on it.
One look at the alphabet that we all know clearly tells us that H comes before W, but then on closer look W has more weight than H since there are four strokes in W than the three strokes in the H, ha ha ha !
Politicians explain that without wealth what can follow ? With wealth there follow ownership, development, progress and whatever. Without wealth where do the five C come from. True, true, true; yet why is there this question ?
Someone said, "People spend their lives to make money, then they spend their money to save their lives."
Another said, "But people are living longer don't they ?"
A third voice said, "Yes, but does longer life mean healthier life ?
A fourth said, "I fear not to die, but I am scared of ill-health !"
A fifth said, "Make money and enjoy life first, let health take care of itself."
Anyone want to continue listening ......... ?
So, the chicken and egg is a no answer enigma, but health and wealth is there no better way ?
Some facts are there to see and use; the rate of people afflicted with chronic sickness increases year by year. Manufacturing and production companies used to reap high profits, but investors currently prefer to invest in pharmaceutical companies. That the pharmaceutical industry has become the sunrise industry does that not point somewhat to a great sacrifice.
The chicken and the pig might have the last and loudest laugh !
Have a nice day
Ronald
