Health Is Like Fertilizer
False pride is ego-independent pride.
You no more made yoursellf
than you can unmake yourself
independently of others.
False wealth is ego-independent pathology.
It will no more contribute to your well-being
than your well-being could ever harm you,
interdependently healthy with others.
To paraphrase Dolly,
in "Hello Dolly":
Money and health are like fertilizer.
They work most resiliently
when spread around.
