Somewhere, sometime long ago, someone first asked that now famous question, "What would you rather have--money or health?"
There are many who say, "Give me the money, and I'll worry later about my health."
And there's some logic to that, for in today's world, having money can often help provide good, or better health.
At least as many people, however, are apt to say, "Give me health; for if you have your health, you have everything".
And there's also some logic to that way of thinking; for what good is the money, if you don't have your health?
I would beg to differ with both schools of thought; because I believe that there is something more important than either money or health. That is time.
What good is money without sufficient time to use it? And how important is good health, without the time to enjoy it?

Oh,my my!! You have reached Socratic heights in philosophic thought with today's column, Bill. If only your initials were WS instead of WL, your words would never be forgotten - 'What good is money without sufficient time to use it? And how important is good health, without the time to enjoy it?'
