Humans will pick cures instead of prevention any day.
Picking in actual terms and not what they say they will pick.
Intellectually, they will pick prevention
But many people dying out of preventive diseases every year are proof that
What they say is not what they do.
They give value to something only after they lose it.
But what is the value of something if one cannot use it anymore?
It might be worth millions or a mere rupee; it doesn’t matter if one has lost it.
But if a person understands its worth and value when having it,
Then it becomes of enormous value.
He can bring it to one’s use, enjoy it, respect it and take care of it.
Life is something similar.
One only starts valuing it once he is about to lose it.
But what is valuable in it if one will lose it very soon?
What if he would have understood its value earlier in his life?
How different would he have lived his life?
How satisfied he would have been when life was about to end?
The one who understands the value of life early in his life
Saves many days, months, and years from wasting in
Ambitions and achievements,
Mundane routine and uninspired work,
Enhancing social status,
Competition and comparisons,
Engaging in conflict.
That person,
Can actually live.
