Stop bodybuilding. Start working.
You guys already know about the argument of wasting food. Like, wasting food is a sin because we are wasting our prosperity, karma would get back to us some day.I agree. I hate wasting food. Which is why I don't buy more than what I eat.
But waste of food comes in more ways than throwing away the food on your plate.
It could also be the amount of energy you waste doing stupid things.
Now, if you haven't realized, I'm beginning to cut into the topic.
Consider this picture:
For the people lacking in childhood, that dude up there is Tarzan. He was born and bred in the jungle by apes, and fell in love with Jane and had a lot of sex as virile young men do.
Seeing as he is a primitive man, you can see that he is wearing next to nothing, and he travels by vines.
He hunts, or something.
He is muscular because he hunts for his food, he is fit because it's a survival of the fittest out there, he is battleworthy because he needs to protect(and perhaps rape) Jane.
He doesn't shave(although he doesn't seem like he doesn't), because he doesn't know how to.
He doesn't tan, it comes about naturally.
Now, look at this:
It's a freak of nature seriously. It's more of a metrosexual appeal now, like the 'I train muscles because I want to look good' kinda notion. It's not about being practical, it's not like you need huge biceps to get on a bus, but it's about needing the huge biceps to get a blowjob on the bus by girls who are attracted to such manly, 'buff' stuff.
It's the 'Hi, I have biceps, now suck my cock' sense of superiority. It makes one feel better about himself, and so that person would...
do senseless stuff like go gyms, WASTE ENERGY, buy food to make up for the wasted energy, and thus waste food itself. And going to gym itself would be
1) a waste of money, because gyms don't come for free.
2) a waste of time, because you need time to train at the gym.
That said, people want to increase their strength because they need to, as mentioned above, protect their women. Looking strong and buff and healthy and fit would also undeniably attract female attention(and gays), and it can be considered an investment--train up, look good, and be a male escort. Landing a girlfriend won't be that hard either, especially if you've got the muscles.
Which is, in a way, good.
But training muscles just to look better is quite degrading to muscles itself. From a lethal weapon, a tool, to a beautified object, I'm quite sure the muscle tissues are crying.
Aiya, I don't really have a moral of the story.
Except that there's a recession going on and here are tips for ardent body-builders who are looking for more money and more chances to um build up their bodies:
1) No air-conditioners. No link, but it saves money. So it's a good tip.
2) Be a coolie. You work your muscles, you do some constructive work. Gym is like you stone at a place, lift up weights, then put them down and lift them up again, and the cycle repeats = no work done. Physics people would know this. Why, WHY, WHY do people waste their money to do NO work, and waste food in that way, when they can
become a coolie, slog their guts out, gain muscles, eat more, AND EARN MONEY, while getting some work done for another dude out there who would otherwise be known as your employer?
Humans don't make sense on so many counts that I'd rather be a horse.
