I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.
Meaning of the quote
Sometimes, even if we try to be very healthy and give up things that might be bad for us, it doesn't mean we'll be happy or live a long life. The man in this quote gave up a lot of things, like smoking, drinking, and even sex, but he was still unhappy and ended up taking his own life. Just because we're healthy on the outside doesn't mean we're healthy on the inside. It's important to take care of our mental and emotional well-being too.
