What constitutes health?

(Public Domain)

In the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, health is certainly a top priority.  But then again, what constitutes health?

Are we mere physical beings who are hardwired for a certain amount of mental/emotional capacity?  Or do we have a strong spiritual component that must also be routinely nourished?

If the latter be true, then routine corporate worship could help to fulfill that need.  Limiting the means to such could therefore block the healthy pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

Viewing health from a holistic perspective that includes a strong dose of spirituality would embrace both sides of this fierce debate.  As concerns freedom of religion, health then becomes a both/and rather than an either/or.
