I read once that you need two things to be happy: any two of health, money, and love. You can cover the absense of one with the other two... But now I realized this was unmitigated bullshit, because health and money did not compare with love at all.

About This Quote

This is a great quote about the importance of love in our lives. You can’t cover up the absence of an important person with the presence of another one. If you don’t love someone, they will always be unimportant to you and there is something wrong in your life. Love is what makes us happy and if we don’t have any one in our lives who loves us, we will only feel misery and pain in our hearts.

It is true that health and money don’t compare with love but when it comes to money, we can always find another source of income, while when it comes to health, we can always find another doctor or hospital that can help us. No matter how much money you have or how healthy you are, when it comes to love, there is no way that you can replace the one person that you love.
