Pseudo-aging
People complain that the body loses mobility, stamina and strength over the years. Of course, the natural aging processes cannot be reversed. But let’s be honest — it’s not that a person loses abilities because the body weakens. As a rule, it’s the other way around — the body decays because a person has no desire or habit to move.
In youth, the body sort of holds the potential of possibilities at the ready: “If you want, try this or that.” But then gradually, out of necessity, it starts to turn off the extensive functionality. After all, instead of using what’s available and exploring what else is possible, the person slips into a narrow “wake-up-eat-work-drink-sleep” rut. Oh yes, the brain of a mental worker is very valuable. But what about the body? “Well, it’s just a brain shipping container, and an incomprehensible, unreliable, and maintenance-intensive machine.”
“Sure you don’t need anything?” — the body interjects. The person annoyedly waves it off, grabs the joystick in his hands, orders home delivery of groceries, and gets on the scooter. The body shrugs perplexedly, “Well, you’re the boss,” and starts the process of atrophy of muscles, joints, nerve cells, etc. Then the downward spiral accelerates: less movement — less function — less movement… The man complains more and more and resents the body, which allegedly let him down. No, honey, it’s the opposite — you betrayed it by carelessly refusing the generous gifts of the gods. Fortunately, you can always become your body’s friend again. Like a dog, the body willingly forgives us for everything and is ready to open its treasury again. You shouldn’t expect miracles, but you can be pleasantly surprised. After all, you are capable of much more than you ever imagined.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
