Some days ago I've read an interesting tale.Three women came to a house; they were Health, Riches and Love. But the owner of the house had to choose only one woman to abide with him. He chose Health. He was healthy, but he didn't have riches and love, and he was unhappy. Then he decided to choose Riches. There were many riches in his life, but he didn't have health and love and he was unfortunate. At last he chose Love. Love abided with him and his life became also healthy and rich.It seems to me it's true. When we have love in our family, we can help each other to get health and money.And what is your opinion?

Hi, Irida 

I always thought most important thing is health. But author of this story seems more wise…

Hi Irida,

your story is interesting. But can we survive only with love, without health and money?

In the real life, if his girlfriend or her boyfriend do not have enough money or unhealthy, he/she will in doubt to take a decision to marry with him/her. This is my opinion. What's yours?

I think health is most important. It is said that Health is wealth. If we are health, we are able to work to earn more and more money. we will get more happiness in work time and other actives.

Well I think, different ppl during ages make their own choices, like for kids, they like to have fun, happiness is everything to them, since in most of cases, they do not need to worry about health, or money…for youngers, they seek for money, love and get happiness, more than health, as they have not realized the health is so important till some friends, relatives, or ppl around them areseriously ill and then they get to know without health, nothing can work…but most of often, it often happens when we are 40 years old around.  So we do not have to make the same choice or argue which one is more priority…we often go after something we do not have, for riches without love, they think love is something so dearest to them, for ppl without health, they would like to do anything to get the health back..

For me, I like to play shadowboxing every morning at the nearby park, I like my job, as it brings me money (not too bad, though not enough for me to be a MILLIONAIRE, I am kinda content already, hehe), my hubby loves me (though we do not have much in common), I have one smart son who is studying in a senior school), I enjoy my simple life (laugh a lot on a funny joke, a nice movie, a new dress, etc…)...that's the life, just enjoy it, do not ask for too much, then you can have health, a bit money, happiness…

Stay healthy, be happy, be well.  Sherry

Happiness comes from your heart  ,so,it can bring you health and love.Happiness is always following with some people who are healthy maybe not rich.So,I think ,happiness and health cannot be divided.Money is useful but not the source of happiness and can't give you health forever.
