It is odd. I ask this half seriously, half not seriously….After you take away people who are drug addicted, have eating disorders, gambling problems, psychological disorders and physical challenges, addiction to online stuff. Attention deficent. All that is left are people who work hard at being physically fit. It’s odd.
There probably are a large chunk of people who are reasonably healthy in the world, but, it is weird to think about them. Whatever they do — why don’t we copy them? Professional athletes? Doctors? Healthy lawyers? It would be weird if the world were reduced down to primarily healthy people. What would they do? Not a lot of business for health carers and lawyers if everybody’s healthy. I’m just idle tonight so I fiddle with these thoughts.
