Most of us live our lives day to day. We try our best
to stay on course with a health and personal value system that only we can set. It is only
when a crisis strikes us or someone close to us that there is cause to reevaluate or set
new standards.
On a personal note, many of us feel too insignificant to change more than that which is
right in front of us and often that, in and of itself, is more than we can handle.
Thinking about the value of our vote in an election, our personally boycotting of an
unhealthy food or a costly good or service, we can feel defenseless against government,
big business and the most current food fad.
It is only after being personally affected by a health trauma, an incurable diagnosis or a
chronic, unsolvable health issue that one begins to get a first-hand look at the
shortcomings that plague the health care systems of the world. As they say, "An ounce
of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure."
As in Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," if you could see your future, it might
change your present.
