For sleep, riches and health to be truly enjoyed, they must be interrupted.

Unbroken good fortune stops registering. A night of sleep only feels like sleep after a night without it, and steady health becomes visible on the day it wavers. The mind measures by change, not by level, so the things that never pause become invisible to you even while you are living inside them.

Rather than waiting for a break to remind you, borrow the contrast deliberately. Notice the first quiet moment of an ordinary morning, or the ease of walking up stairs. When something does interrupt, let it teach you what was there rather than only what is missing.
