Two great assets

Two great assets

There are two great assets in the world. It is not related to money, jewelry, land, stocks, bonds, politics, power or influence. Both are concerned with man and man alone.

The first asset is health. The second property is mental health. It is enough to keep these two properties in good condition. All other properties are by-products of these two properties.

A Tamil Nadu proverb says that having too much money and not being healthy cannot be considered an asset.

In the same way, the Valluvar language of 'Mental health is human development' says that having too much money and not having mental health cannot be called an asset.

The body has an immune system that restores health when it is damaged by disease. There is also medicine.

If the physical health is damaged due to mental health, good feelings have the power to restore it.

No matter how great the disappointments, losses, or harms may be, staying in feeling goodwill is a natural way to preserve both physical and mental health.

Nature is endowed with the power of goodwill. It exhorts us to do the same. Nature is good enough to make trees grow again and again no matter how many trees humans cut down. No matter how much humans pollute the nature, nature is working with the good sense to clean it as much as possible.

Being in harmony with nature and being in nature are wonderful ways to protect our health and mental health.

You may ask how can we be reconciled after someone has cheated on us, betrayed us?

In villages, such conditions are met with a sentence of just leave us with that level. That sentence gives enormous releif.

No one is going to go looking for it and be fooled. We should always be tactful so that when someone deceives us, we have the knowledge to know that someone is cheating and to teach us a lesson so that we will not be deceived in the same way again.

We should be sympathetic to a traitor for letting us know that he is a traitor and stopping with that single betrayal.

No matter how you look at it, no matter how deeply you think about it, nature creates more opportunities for us to be at peace.

It is us who create feelings of revenge and feelings of punishment. Both these feelings are enough to destroy your physical and mental health.

The wealth you create by destroying your goodwill will only increase the number of cheaters and traitors against you. You too will rise in your sense of revenge and punishment. Why should you not have been a man of goodwill when all you longed for was the love of a man of goodwill, afflicted with an irreversible physical and mental disorder?
