“Sickness is felt, but health not at all.”

Simplified Meaning:

When you are sick, you can feel every uncomfortable symptom, like a sore throat or a headache. Being unwell grabs your attention because it makes you feel bad. On the other hand, when you are healthy, you often don’t think about it because everything is working as it should be. Good health is quiet and feels normal; it’s not something you notice unless it’s missing. For example, think about a time when you had a cold. You likely were very aware of the runny nose and cough because they bothered you. But on days when you felt fine, you didn't notice your breathing or energy because they caused you no discomfort. It's only when health problems arise that you appreciate feeling well. This idea teaches us to be grateful for good health even when we don’t notice it. We should remember to appreciate our bodies when everything is functioning smoothly, not just when we encounter illnesses. By being mindful of our health on good days, we can take better care of ourselves and perhaps avoid future sickness.
