Do you consider selling your tv to be an effective way of keeping fit?
c Yet, there exists certain scepticism concerning this overwhelming obsession with you body being beautiful. Those who challenge this crazy fad, remark ironically: “Exercising makes people think that they can live for ever. It puts off the moment of realization that we are mortal. If you don’t stay still long enough you don’t have to think about such things. Coming to terms with oneself, finding out who one is and where one is going, come from within, not from running round a park with 2,000 other people.”
Do you share this viewpoint?
d Read the following advice and discuss it with your partners:
“It’s high time you hung up your trainers and exercised your
mind and not your body.”
What message does it convey to you?
Who might it be given to?
Does this bit of advice make sense? Why?
