hard thinking

so, someone asked me why i like bodybuilding if it's "disgusting". instead of yelling and screaming at them like an idiot, i decided to just think about it. after all, there entitled to an opinion. so why do i like bodybuilding?
well, its a sport im good at. i like discipline, in this paticular case, because it makes me a more controlled person. i am determined, if i wish to be. one could say i have an "insecurity" deal with trying to be bigger than everybody, and that may be true to SOME extent, but it is not even major. i dont want to become huge just to prove to myself that im better than someone. i have always sort of been "rooting" for the underdog, and bodybuilding is certainly an underdog. bodybuilding, while harder than most sports, isn't based per say on action so much as on presentation. working out is easier than having to run or show everyone how bad i am at hitting a ball. i am complete in bodybuilding (physically)- i dont have gay ass muscles that are out of proportion. and as for disgusting? i dont know, i just dont find muscular bodies presenting themselves aesthetically disgusting. maybe its because i find children being made slaves and dying of hunger disgusting. maybe its because i find seeing your best friend blown up by an artillery shell disgusting. maybe its because i find seeing someone having there arms and legs cut off disgusting. maybe its because i find a child being born, then abandoned by its mother in a crate disgusting. i hope i never have the misfortune of seeing these things, but maybe muscular bodies being judged on proportion, symettry, and definition isnt disgusting. at least it isnt to me.
