health is wealth

It's all too easy to take youth and health for granted. It's when the body starts to break down and not function as optimally as before that one starts to wonder why in the world did one ever worry about anything else in the world at all. What's the point of pursuing fame, wealth, appearances or popularity or being anxious over broken friendships/relationships/careers when one loses the capacity to do all those things? At the end of it all, life is fundamentally about maintaining a good healthy body that can last you, with hope (I don't believe in luck), about 60 years. Everything else will fall in place.
