When our health practices and everyone else's health practices become uppermost in our minds, when we balk at tests that are considered to be important by most doctors and when we spend most of our time thinking about how we can improve other peoples health and worry about how their unhealthy practices will cost us money.. Then something is wrong. It isn't being helpful or altruistic or beneficial, it is living out of balance....for most of us anyway. Life is too short to worry about this stuff all of the time. Making life longer may be the goal....but for WHAT????
