Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness,

Summary

This quote suggests that when it comes to our well-being, we often prioritize illness and pain over other important aspects such as kindness and knowledge. We tend to pay more attention to our illnesses, seeking medical help and following its guidance. On the other hand, we make only promises to be kind and acquire knowledge, but may not always act accordingly. The quote implies that our focus on addressing physical discomfort and taking care of our health supersedes our commitment to personal growth and treating others with compassion.
