Contentment

         This poem mostly talk about contentment and riches.

                  Health or reputation: which is held dearer? Health or possessions: which has more worth? These quotes are saying that nothing worth more than health.  A lot of people think if they have plenty of money, they don’t need anything else. But the thing is you may have all the riches in the world, without health your riches is useless. You cannot be happy if you don’t have health. Health is the most important thing someone need. If you have health you can work and have and enjoy anything you may want. However you may have everything but you cannot enjoy it because you don’t have health. Health is the most dearer than everything else. In other words these quotes are asking what is the most important to you. Your life or all the fancies you have. Do all your possessions mean something to you if you don’t have health? Money doesn't mean anything once you are on your deathbed that’s what these quotes are basically saying.    

“Great love incurs great expense, and great riches incur great fear, but contentment comes at no cost.” I think this quote means to possess some good stuff you have to pay for it. But happiness is cost-less; you don’t need money to be content. You have to spend a lot of money to have the perfect love. We tend to believe that if we have money we will be happy for the rest of our live. Experiences prove it wrong. Money don’t bring happiness, you may need money to give you fancy things like materialistic but not happiness. Now a day money talk, if you don’t have money there are some sort of things that will not possess. This means the society which we are living in force us in some ways to recognize that money is what count and you have to possess it in order to survive or have anything you want. However, you become fearful when you have a lot of money. You don’t feel secure, you mind isn’t in peace because you are worry about people who are jealous of you. Most of the time, people want to be rich because they think they will be happy and other people will show them respect. But they forget that money don’t buy happiness or contentment. That is the reason why most of the times people with a lot of money are stressful. You can be happy without money and once you’re happy you don’t have any stress and you are fearless.
