    Wise.

    The wise person lives a healthy lifestyle
    and earns sufficient wealth to meet basic needs.

    But also the wise person
    by means of prudent thought, speech and action
    lives in happiness
    most of the time.

    Healthy. I don't like Vicks Vapo-rub. I had that crap slathered on my chest and under my nose as a kid.

    Healthy.  With health, you can achieve the other two.

    Wealthy because I never been wise anyway and my health is adequately ok  in my old age so I can live long enough to have fun squandering  all my wealth before I croak.

    Wise. The rudest of health is pointless if you don't use it well.
    Roosevelt in his chair, Marat in his bath, blind Milton, deaf Beethoven, the perpetually sickly Mozart who died far too young ... all achieved immortality without it.

    I have all three to a limited extent. And we can have some influence on how much of each we attain. At the moment, the one I am working on hardest is health, so that would be my choice. I used to believe that 'if you have your health, you have everything', but now I see people in my life who have achieved so much and are still happy despite their physical condition or mental health disorders. I think working with what we have is more important than pining after what we don't have.

    Healthy, you can be wise but it doesn't stop you getting cancer, or being involved in an RTA by some moron who clearly wasn't being wise in his driving skills.  If I'm healthy I'll live long enough to become wise (hopefully), and if I'm healthy I can work in order to make money and do all the things I loved "horse riding" for one.  When your in pain all the time, with ill health all you want is to be healthy again, it affects every aspect of your life, sleep, mood, thinking, balance and mobility.

    I use Vicks of a night-time on my chest and under my nose, I also rub in on my feet.   :)

    Vicks can also be an insect repellent, and it can help with pain as it contains menthol.
