Health is your wealth

Being wealthy and feeling wealthy are two very different experiences. While many in the West enjoy material abundance, we are currently facing an epidemic of loneliness and emotional isolation. Suicide rates are rising, and the pervasive sense of despair has driven people to search for meaning and connection in various ways. Practices like yoga and mindfulness have gained immense popularity as individuals seek spiritual fulfilment and mental clarity. At the same time, others turn to more destructive outlets like drugs and alcohol to numb their pain. This growing crisis highlights a deeper societal issue: despite our material wealth, there is a profound lack of emotional well-being and community, underscoring the need for more meaningful forms of connection and purpose in our lives.
