    The best way to retain one’s health is to relax.
    Uhawenimana Thierry Claudien

    Human health is threatened by natural catastrophes and human made tragedies based on greed and terrible disparities that create inequalities between the rich and the rich. So, can we say that people who vegetate are healthy? Some people are destined to healthy and others are cursed to lead a miserable health dominated by hardships all along their lives and the situation will always remain unchanged until the wretched of the world will be released by death, which the healthy shun to hear because of many unfulfilled projects of sucking the labour of the poor. However, let us rejoice and work hard and our long suffering will bear fruits once we stay optimistic and energetic.
