Look at this picture. Looks like an assembly line doesn't it?
Is this how we as a society try to achieve perfect health and peace of mind?
Well, yeah.
I started my fitness quest after my freshmen year. That summer, after receiving a provoking comment, I thought to myself I'm tired of having man tits and skin that's flabbier than Flubbers. I woke up constantly feeling groggy and close to death, and I wasn't sick at all. So I began the process of working out and eventually lost the weight and began building muscle
It's now been a year and a half since that glorious beginning and I've still been at it. What are my goals now? They change session by session. Sometimes, I want to push myself to the brink, sometimes I want to break a sweat.
Today, I was at my local gym, and I noticed something funny. There's a sort of change that occurs when you get wrapped up in working out. Something is released in the body, and the sensation of every exercise is heightened. You also notice EVERYONE around you. You compare yourself, you silently critique others, your mind plays games.
For some reason, I felt today everybody was on edge or some adrenaline. It could of been me and my own mind playing games, but it felt like I was on the Serengeti and I was being watched by a million eyes.
The gym at college is no different. Come back and read my post about it when I go to college.
Oh, and before I forget, Davey Wavey posted a really nice post and it was really beautiful with delightful prose. It brought a tear to my eye. www.breaktheillusion.com
