A lot of people saying it's a terrible design, but it's not stairs where family comes after money. All it's saying is that if the health is gone, it'll be very difficult to enjoy any of these other things. Because if the 1 of health becomes 0, everything else listed stops representing value and stats representing non-value instead.

Of course health is not binary and nothing is ever that simple, but what did you expect from a motivational poster.

I am sorry to hear that. Hence why I said “many”, but I know very well it’s not all. I don’t know to what degree you are struggling, nor do i claim to understand anyone else’s experience, but I have 2 disabilities that are slowly pushing me to the periphery of life’s edge (socially, financially, etc.) and it is really difficult.

Its obv. When you sit on a bench, do you trust the bench to not break or do you trust your ass to fly?

/s I find it pretty profound tbh. It's about confidence in one's self and abilities; to not worry of unforeseen circumstances when you know you can rise above them.

We evolved family/social dynamics to facilitate "work" (i.e. not starve or die of exposure) not the other way around though.

The problem with the modern economy based on currency and exchange value is we are alienated from our labor as well as the traditional sorts of family units that our brains evolved to thrive in. Not that the world demands work first - because that's always been the case, the world is a hard fucking place.
