"best of both worlds: health and money"

He was suffering from physical ailments but his mind was strong and sharp. He was a successful man from any worldly calculations. He was powerful with his money but weak in health, now he was dying.

As I started to know him with caring for him, I found him interesting. He never complained about why him, with all the this or that of getting sick. He was kind and humble. His lungs were failing him with interstitial lung disease and so was his heart, from right heart failure and pulmonary hypertension.

He was a good man with a good heart, as one of staff member announced one day, and he smiled with a negative nod, which made all of us laugh. We all felt for his struggle of trying to catch his breath to talk, to breath, to eat and to sleep. He was dying, and his oxygen saturation drifted even if the wind blew in a different direction. He was frail, not a candidate for lung transplantation, which he could have opted for if his body would have allowed him. 

To some money is everything, and in the art of getting it deprive their bodies of their well being.  By ignoring the castle, they lead to its fall with inflictions of disease or accident. Others have beliefs like 'money is the root of all evil', and choose to ignore the choices of the good they may do if they had money in the first place.

The wise strive for both money and health. They invest in their health as they do in their money. They are the ones who can enjoy life at its best 'til the last shoe drops. With a long season of spring surrounded by familiar faces, life can be simple by having the best of both worlds; health and money, as without one the other is no fun. Ask any person rich or poor, the answer will not surprise a conscious mind.
