You, Me, and the Colors of Life

by Noa C. Walker

People’s hearts were sick in this regard, having been lulled into believing that everyone must be fit, beautiful, and perfectly healthy at all times.

They learn very early on things that healthy people don’t learn until old age, for example that we can’t know happiness until we’ve experienced suffering, that we don’t appreciate our healthy body until we’ve been sick, that human life is worthless unless we give it meaning.”

Time is precious. Every minute we give to another person is priceless, even if we’re not staring death in the face.
