When I first saw this image, I didn’t understand it.
It looked simple. Almost playful.
A cat notices a small tail coming out of a hole and assumes it’s a rat. Curious and confident, it reaches out to pull it, thinking there’s no real danger.
But the truth is chilling.
That tail does not belong to a rat.
It belongs to a cobra.
This artwork, created by the renowned Italian illustrator Marco Melgrati, carries a deep message. You never truly know what you are dealing with until you understand the risks. In today’s world, we are surrounded by ignorance, overconfidence, shortcuts, and quick fixes, and we pay the price for it.
This is exactly how we treat our health.
In our fast, busy lives, we see only a small fraction of the truth. A mild symptom here. A little fatigue there. Occasional pain. Disturbed sleep. We dismiss them as insignificant.
But if you look closely at people suffering from chronic health conditions, the reality is heartbreaking. Lives burdened on others. Days spent chasing hope. Celebrations missed. Joy replaced by fear. Professional and personal charm slowly fading away.
What went wrong?
We treated serious health signals like a rat’s tail, never realizing that a cobra was hiding behind the wall.
Do not make that mistake.
Give priority to your health.
Never ignore your symptoms.
Do not play with a cobra’s tail thinking it is harmless.
Life truly matters. And health is what gives life its meaning.
Remember this image. You cannot see the whole picture at once. What appears small today can become far bigger than us tomorrow if ignored.
Understand your body. Learn the deeper truths of health. Address the root causes, not just the surface signs.
Because in this era, health is not a luxury, it is the foundation of everything.
Let us take care of our health and help spread awareness of true wellbeing.
