People who are always taking care of their health are like misers, who are hoarding up a treasure which they have never spirit enough to enjoy.

Care for the body is worth something, but only as a means to the life it makes possible. Kept past that point it becomes its own occupation, and health is stored rather than spent. The caution starts to cost the very thing it was meant to protect.

Ask what you are saving your energy for and whether that day has a date on it. If the answer is vague, spend some of it this week on something you actually want: a long walk, a late night with friends, work that will tire you. Sensible limits are fine; endless deferral is the part worth watching.
