is health decisive for the quality of a human life? – a key question, and the attempt of an answer:

how many human beings
could get up – but don't know why?
can stand – but don't know for what?
can walk – but have no idea where to?

how many human beings
can see – but don't recognize anything?
can hear - but don't understand?

how many human beings
do have a voice – but nothing to say?
would like to say something – but nobody will listen to them?

and how many human beings
do have a (physically) healthy heart –
but nothing it's beating/feeling for?

for me – one of the greatest gifts in life is: to have something you're living for, something to care for – whatever that might be.
