The Natural Medicine Of Humor Is The Root Of All Good

We've all heard that the Bible says money is the root of all evil, right? Maybe we've even used it to justify our not earning as much as we once hoped we would. If the Bible says this, we wonder, what are we supposed to do about it. Should we give away all we have?



Did you know that the Bible does not contain that oft-quoted phrase? More on this in a moment...



Your social status, of course, goes a long way toward determining how much money you have. Michael Marmot, a professor of epidemiology and public health at University College, London, says in his latest book, The Status Syndrome, that your position in the social hierarchy also signifies how much control you feel you have over your life.



Your social position can predict your susceptibility to disease, even if you take into account income, education, and access to medical care. Even tiny distinctions matter, Marmot found. So, not only would a factory worker be more susceptible to heart disease than a CEO, but a person with a master's degree will have a shorter life span than a person with a Ph.D.



Make you want to go back to school? Don't worry, the natural medicine of humor will take care of you a lot more quickly and inexpensively than getting another degree!



You needn't fret over your status. Subscribe to my newsletter,The Fun Times, and regularly visit my natural medicine of humor website to avail yourself of my many fun, free tools to maximize your humor nature.



You will be in control of one variable that Marmot didn't measure. You will be in control of your seriousness (taking yourself too seriously)! And being in control of your seriousness is your best, and most important, tool for transcending any negative prophecies regarding your health and longevity!



Take it from a doctor. Whether you're a streetsweeper or a CEO, following my prescription for fun, The Fun Factor, will help you lead a long, healthy, successful life!



By the way, what the Bible says is "...the love of money is the root of all evil." (1 Tim 6:10) Still need proof that money is not a great evil? The Bible also says "Bread is made for the feast, and wine gladdens life, but money answereth all things." (Eccles. 10:19)
