Cure is better than prevention.

Hi, First I would lie to get cleared what do you mean by prevention and cure? Unless you are sure you are ill you will not get treated. Only after your illness is detected you would be medicated. This process is called curing. Secondly if you are cured what you are cured off? You have to be cured only after you have been affected. Just think you are taking tablets of such and such disease without knowing if you are really sick. Then would not it be foolishness? In my opinion prevention is cure than better. If you had taken proper care before sharing the bed with a call girl you would not have carried along HIV virus.

Hello, this is true what you said here. But so many of us do worry what we will get and do our best to prevent it especially if a sibling has it or get sick. yes, a cure is is better in the long rung but what if it take 50 years to get the cure and you have it now or you are aware you may get it. i would want to do everything to prevent it from happening if it is my power to do so like Diabetes etc.. Thanks and have a great day! Sincerely Unqiue16

It's healthier to take care that a problem does not happen than to have to solve the problem afterwards. It's easier to prevent something bad from happening in the first place than to fix the damage after it has happened.

Not really, I definitely think that prevention is better than cure-- it's not really being scared of the sickness, but being practical, I don't want to get sick because it's costly and it hurts.... (but people have gotten sick at least 3 times in their life anyway )

If you're well: prevention. If you have diseases: cure. It's very simple. We should solve our problems at present. We shouldn't seat to wait for future.

hi, definitely yes, cure is better than ever, you have to cure it first before you prevent it, because if you will just prevent a things, it will only occurred for many times because its still their, but if you cure it first and then prevent it.

I think you have take this idiom literally my friend. This phrase doesn't only talk about having a disease. It means that it is better to try to keep a bad thing from happening than it is to fix the bad thing once it has happened. For example you are driving a car, you know for the very fact that the car is not in a good condition. Before driving it, you'll make sure that it will be fixed and should be back in perfect condition to avoid accidents. Now if in case you didn't mind about it's faulty aspect and you'll end up bumping another car because the brake didn't work, then you might end up in a hospital. You may be cured but you could have put your life at risk and another person too. You would have more medicines, or maybe surgeries, in other words you incur more cost. As for the other example here about the HIV, why in the world will you wait for yourself to get one even if there is a cure on it? I mean if you could take care of yourself from the very start you could avoid medication. Another example could be other infectious diseases. Infectious diseases are result of other diseases that hadn't be taken action from the beginning. If in case they have taken medications this couldn't complicate more in their physical fitness. My point here is that why would you wait for bad things to come if you can prevent it. Dealing with after could be riskier and more costly. Now if you had actually been late then you wouldn't have a choice but to cure it, unless cure is not present.

I see. You have a point but for me its both, "prevention is better than cure" and "cure is better than prevention". As for me both is right. Prevention is better than cure because at least you wouldn't be suffering from a certain illness to be cured. you wouldn't experience pain and draining your budget. Cure is better than prevention because experiencing some kind of illnesses makes you immune and you're right. We would feel scared of having an illness because we already have and it can be cured but the bad thing is if its not cured. Anyway, Thanks for sharing! Happy mylotting! :)

I think both are good. If you can prevent it then you don't need to worry about getting illnesses, and if you got an illness and you have a cure then problem solve. But would you like to reach the point that you have the illness? I guess I would rather prevent myself from getting ill than cure it when I already got one. So for me preventing it is still better.

Hi gorillafootprints925, This is something new and new perspective I am reading, anyway there is nothing wrong in getting cured when we are ill and we have to get cured too. But still I believe prevention is better than cure. I will support my point with two examples below. 1. We all know smoking causes cancer heart attack and it raises the blood pressure too. We can be at the risk of life by smoking, so it is better to prevent with healthy habits rather than inviting it and later trying to cure. Here it is not being scared but being careful. 2. Too much of spending on credit cards will land us into financial crisis, so it is better to prevent such financial calamities by limiting our expenditure. We can also cure it by many ways but why to invite a problem. Finally even if we are very careful we do get exposed to some problems which we have to solve it. That is all life. Happy Living Calpro

Prevention is better than cure.Something that you say which mean it is better to stop something bad happening that it is to deal with it after it has happened.
