We were with friends at a New Year's Eve party, and one person at our table of 10 was wearing a large, uncomfortable neck brace because of recent back surgery, and the pain she was experiencing dwarfed anything else that happened that night. Also, just trying to tolerate the discomfort exhausted her.
My 99-year-old father-in-law has shingles, and whenever the pain occurs, the irritation causes an intense, localized annoyance, but it results in him losing interest in anything else in his life---including eating. The soothing relief he gets from just sitting and doing nothing in his big, comfortable chair is enough to provide satisfaction.
Without good health, what else matters?
Go out and get your good health :)
