I find that these things _can_ go hand in hand. Being physically healthy won't make you nicer, but if you are healthy, it's easier to have more patience (as one example of a complimentary benefit).
I am nicer and more forgiving when I don't have a sore throat or a migraine. And when I have more energy, I can play with kids instead of taking a nap.
- taneq 9y agoI think it's a very analogous situation with wealth, actually. "More money won't make you a better person," but if you're broke and desperate you're more likely to do something shifty to survive. Likewise, being physically healthy and getting enough sleep won't "make you a better person" but if you're sick and chronically sleep-deprived it sure can make you behave like a prick.
