意味
Health is the greatest wealth.
文化的背景
In rural areas, health is literally the only wealth. If a farmer cannot plow, the family cannot eat. This proverb is a survivalist truth. In the city, this is used to combat the stress of 'hustle culture' and the rising rates of lifestyle diseases like diabetes. Health is seen as a gift from God (Habta Egziabher). Neglecting health is seen as being ungrateful for a divine gift. Proverbs like this are the 'dessert' of the coffee ceremony, where elders pass down wisdom to the youth.
The 'Be' Secret
Remember that 'be' (በ) can also mean 'with'. Think of it as 'Wealth comes WITH health'.
The Elder's Nod
Using this phrase with an older Ethiopian will immediately earn you respect as it shows you value traditional wisdom.
