not samefag.

Why not have both? Not a single fucking reason. And fuck monks for not enjoying getting their dick sucked. You can have your spirituality and all that, but atleast once in a year go take a aston martin around the Nürburgring. You can have it all, stop being a faggot.

"Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live."

That's the basic principle. It's up to you how much and how vigorous you want to do so.

As a species, we both cooperate and fight with each other, like any other species. But regardless of Hitler's sexuality I think that quote is great. It's a good reminder that the world doesn't owe you anything, and if you do not wish to struggle to excel then life itself shows you don't deserve it.

I work outdoors doing physical stuff all day (agricultural job), so I get tons of exercise and don't have to work out separately. I think it's important to go outside and experience the real world, along with the world of books.

I'd like to read more often than I do though.

Possibly true, but I'm not a rat scrounging the crumbs. You live an undignified existence as a rat.

The rat has longevity, you are correct. He does not have dignity.

Your confrontational method of boasting leads me to believe you are intensely insecure.

There is really no reason to [sic]"come @ you".

In addition to your exercise routine I'm sure your perception of the world would benefit from a little introspection, or at least a bit of humility.

I try to do both.

I go to the gym 5 times a week, do lifting and cardio.

Now i'm reading to finnish an essay about the textual corpus. (Nancy, LeBreton, some chapters about it of Deleuze and Guattari.).

I see no reason not to work out. I don't aprove of those who don't read and exercise the mind, nor i aprove of those who don't exercise the body.

After all, al lot of famous writers did work out. DFW lifted, Murakami jog from time to time.

Anyway, those that don't want to exercise better watch over what they eat.

The body is a system and having one part of your body failing is detrimental for the other. Strengthening your body improves your cognitive ability. You do not need to be like our lord savior Zyzz but you need to have good cardiovascular health and a healthy diet.
Not being healthy shows that you are lazy and lack balance.
