Health is wealth, they say. Well, the depth of that statement forever remains inexplicable!
As you've prolly been faced with subtle sicknesses which just show vague signs until eradicated with meds, Prolly why you're still alive.
As ubiquitous as cancer may seem, it's just the lid in a bottle flowing with a river of terminal and fatal sicknesses. As far as sicknesses that get worse by just coming in contact with someone else to sicknesses inherited from forefathers.
It's the time of pestilences as more and more people die just by eating a contaminated food! Not your first rodeo on that one, but, you still decide to be oblivious to the kind of food you eat. These sicknesses exacerbate one's turbulence and expedite their death and here you are smoking away your lungs, drinking away your liver, all in the name of feeling like a "man" or "woman".
It's poignant to know that you'll prolly be having a hard and stubborn sickness in due time that I hope doesn't take your life. In essence, to those who listen, take care of your health! Take care of your health!! Take care of your health!!! Remember, even doctors get sick.
This lack of attention to our health isn't entirely our fault.
Influence. Well, everyone is influenced by their choice of associates, one way or the other.
You might be oblivious to how much of an influence you can be on others. Well, how about you? How much have you been influenced by someone? More so negatively?
Take some time and think about the things you're doing now and the things you did before. If there's no correlation, you've prolly learnt to like something from someone or somewhere. It's not bad as long as it's a positive thing you learnt, it's when you started developing some bad traits though.
How 'bout you meticulously pay attention to how you act for sometime? This can help in eroding any negative traits you might've developed over time. Some people actually do like being influenced negatively as they like to go with the "trend" of this dying world. Well, newsflash!
You're adding salt to injury. You're prolly already struggling to remove some traits you have, talk less of removing traits that you are going to be learning just by keeping bad company. I hope you make it out alive!
To those out there who want to besiege any opportunity they have of a meaningful future, I hope this meets you well.
Stay safe and keep conquering those demons especially anything that could lead you to neglecting your personal health.
Lfg!!
