body is like a piano, and happiness is like music. It's needful to have the
instrument in good order" nowdays mostly people only concern about
physical treatment when it comes to healthy life. Why does it happen? Do you
agree with the proverb?
I agree with the proverb. Having our body in
'good order' which needs also a trained mind, brings a lot of benefits with it.
