"Not Resting" to "Rest in Peace"

"Health Is wealth" is a very common statement on people's lips but many of us don't prioritize our wellbeing. We take our health issues lightly until what you could have cure with little expenses becomes what we'll be seeking help for millions because of operation. I pray this will not be our lot.

I couldn't sleep last weekend and that led to serious headache for me that I had to put a call through to my boss on Monday morning that I would not be coming to work because I knew I would not be active at work. So, I rested at home.
I was reading a news online about a teacher who was feeling feverish from home and still manage to go to work and while at work she slumped and died.
It is only a healthy person that can work. Please, your health comes first and most times the married women are the ones found in such act. Two of my colleagues were sick yesterday and they came to work, both of them said their husbands never assisted them even to take care of the kids, they knew they were not feeling too well and still could not wake to help their wives to prepare the children for school. They said they had to come to school because school is better than home. Both of the had to sleep at the sick bay.
Could this be what many are experiencing? The other teacher that died was home a hell for her?.

What I am sharing today is in two dimensions, which I will be explaining more in the following paragraphs.
Firstly, Rest so that you will not be tagged "Rest in Peace". Once you know you are not feeling too well, stay back at home, visit the hospital and get treated. Many death are not spiritual attacks, it was because of negligence and a chase after money at the expense of our wellbeing. After many are gone the money they were chasing becomes an additional to another person who never worked for it. Go for medical checkup and watch what you eat.

Secondly, marriage is meant to be enjoy, let's drop some archaic traditions that house chores are the duties of the wife alone. Please, let's assist our women, the stress is making them aged early and killing many at a tender age. Men, monitor your wife's health, when they are sick please assist, bath your children once in awhile this even makes them happy. The home you create for your wife is what your children too will replicate. Watching your wife even in her sick state doing chores does not speak too well of you. Don't forget when she was there to assist you too. I know the experience of my colleagues is not general and that will make me appreciate men who have been assisting women not only in house chores but in other things and to encourage others, both young and old to assist people who are sick to give them time and space for adequate rest.

Likewise, it is not the duty of the school to treat a sick child, never send a sick child to school. I feel sad when some of my students come to me that they are sick and their parents are aware of it without taking them to the hospital. These young ones needs rest too, take care of them and watch over them till they have fully recovered before sending them to school. Don't forget a sick child cannot concentrate in class, school is a place for learning while the hospital is where you take a sick person to for treatment.
In conclusion, prioritize your health, your partner's health and your entire family's wellbeing.
Thanks for reading my post.
