There's a lot of people in this world who spend so much time

Summary

This quote highlights the irony of how some individuals prioritize their health to such an extent that they end up compromising their ability to enjoy life. It suggests that while it is important to maintain good health, spending an excessive amount of time, energy, and focus solely on one's physical well-being may lead to a lack of enjoyment or fulfillment in life. It encourages a balanced approach that allows for both taking care of one's health and allowing oneself to indulge in the joys and pleasures that life has to offer.
