Health or Wealth？
Which is more important, health or wealth? When given this question, different people
have varied answers. Some insist that health plays a more important role in our life, while
others see more advantages arising from wealth.
The first group of people quote the old saying "Health is above wealth" to prove their
idea. They argue that, on the one hand, a strong person can do almost anything as long as
he/she tries hard. On the other hand, however, rich people will not be able to enjoy the
wealth if their days are numbered.
Moreover,they may think that they can buy everything they like with money.For
example,beautiful clothes,delicious food,large houses and luxury cars can be afforded.
Therfore,their life is quite comfortable.Nowadays,many younggirls marry old rich men
for their money.They belive that they will be happier only with money.However,can they
be really happy?
In contrast, the advocates of wealth have such arguments as follows.in their opinion,
they can do more things includeearning more money with the help of health body.So,
they spend more time doing exercise and enjoying a health diet.Thus,their life is regular and
colouful.Firstly, wealthy people will be able to buy more healthful food. Secondly, they can
enjoy better facilities to improve their health. Take my neighbor, Lao Wang, as an example.
He had a heart attack and is in hospital. However, he cannot afford the expensive operation,
which costs as much as 100,000 yuan. Therefore, he has to lie in bed hopelessly. If he were
a rich man, his life could be saved.
In short, we cann't draw a conclusion easily that which one is important. For one thing, it
is true that we can do many things when we are very rich, but we can never buy our health
and healthy relationship with others. For another, we can enjoy a more healthy life with
money. Thererore, we should try to strike a balance between them and gain wealth with a
health body.
