The lesson for today is why be sick when you can be healthy.
When I was younger (not that I’m old now), I used to shrug off sickness. I never got serious illness, just the normal flu and headache. I hated the idea of taking medicine and the only cure for all of my illnesses was time and to sleep it of. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t, but time usually cure everything. Because of that, I once had a very long coughing problem and flu. And yet, I still didn’t take any medicine. I didn’t know why, maybe it’s youth foolishness or some kind of machismo act, but I realised now that it’s dumb.
Nowadays I take all the medicine I need. I want the instant gratification of being healthy straight away instead of labouring under some sickness. I can’t really pinpoint when and why I changed my point of view. Maybe, I now realised that it’s stupid to waste time by being sick when medicine that can cure it is available freely. Maybe I’m just getting old.
Whatever the case is, get me my flu medicine now; this flu is killing me.
