Sad absurdity
Today Jay and I joined a gym to get more exercise. I have a sinking feeling that we will join and then not keep up with it, but Jay wanted to give it a shot, and really, it is a good idea for us both.
As we were touring the very nice facilities I felt a sense of dislocation from reality and was struck by the sad absurdity of the world. Here in the US we pay money so we can do exhausting physical things and get fit and/or lose weight. In Ethiopia people do exhausting physical things to grow crops and/or earn money so they can gain weight.
