Mysteriously Horrifying

One of the worst nightmares that all people or rather most people do have is the idea of death. I didn't quite understand the idea for it was more to do with people's attitude to life. Quite remarkably a great majority existing in our planet like the idea of living a long life rather than have a bias for that quick exit from the difficulties of life. There are of course several professions that simply compete for space in giving out service for folks which would be a definite envy to most of the animals and other forms of life in the whole of solar system, if of course there were life in other planets. You name it and these lucrative professions are there at your finger tips. Leading all the professions is perhaps the life giving service of a medical practitioner, then comes the others like the fitness gurus to a whole body of professionals that aim for better and longer life by imparting their teachings in the form of meditation, hypnotism and what not. Thus, for all these one can easily derive at a conclusion that the most valuable possession of a human being is his own physique and being denied the perfect body of health would mean to be condemn him to the deepest parts of the horrifying hell. Thus, people for most part of their waking life try to live the best of their life thinking properly or improperly that the body they tend to from their birth onwards is the most valuable thing of his life. This of course he does so either consciously or subconsciously. There are some folks who think they have gained a lot while others who think they have been cheated out of their money as there has been no improvement whatsoever they feel. Yet the latter has no great chance of making a long life until and unless they have the right attitude to really bring down their weight as well as the host of other physical problems that come to roost during their middle ages. But the problem is no that as these are the usual course of things with human inclinations to like one thing or hate another. What is the horror that I have in mind is the revelation that what you thought was a perfect thing for fitness and best of health or the guru who advocated the methods of attaining them and for whom you have given your whole attention suddenly reverses the whole program or made to do so in course of life by the sudden act of God or call it Nature. Yes, I mean to say that this guru or the health advice he gives to all of us human is himself short lived and dies a quick shocking natural death. To say that you are flabbergasted would be an underestimation for you would feel non plussed with weeks on with speech defect.

Something like that happened when I was quite young and a very close associate of our folks in the town and who was known to be one of the best exponent and a living symbol of health, fitness and happiness suddenly died at the age of 54. We all went for the funeral to moan the loss for the community including those who are still living beyond their eighties. The moment was horrific. Everyone was all praise for the fitness symbol for the awesome health he possessed throughout his life. You perhaps got the whiff of it I presume. Such talks are quite likely in most of the funeral places all over the world. "What would have been without him" utters a seventy plus man and I failed to get the idea of what he really meant. Anyway we all have to be solemn enough to justify such events. "He was the perfection of health and fitness" another woman in her late sixties would mutter. Obviously I fidgeted nervously trying to see reason to all these words. "We must all emulate him and see that the best way for long life is to walk his path" said another man in his eighties. This got into me and I spoke, "Surely, he died early, didn't he". "Shh, don't say such lose words about a great great fitness and expert on long life," said a woman who was of the same age as the dead man.

The gist of the talk was that it made me confused about one thing about the various aspects of health and fitness conscious among the folks around the world. Fitness should never be imparted through mouth by a conscious fact that every person living in this planet should do a minimum of exercise, but not too much lest he or she succumbs to both physical and mental pressures. This is the first point. The second is that every living person takes at least a light activity preferably walking say for forty minutes to one hour. The next is that starving is as bad for your brain as for your physique. The best way is to eat your fill leaving with a feeling that you can have a few more snacks. Here, this very instant you stop. The next is to afford a good night's sleep. The rest the body will take care of by itself. I got this from a person whom I met after the funeral of the physical fitness guru and who has lived every moment of his life energetically even in his late eighties. His suggestion is to forget all nasty heavy or difficult exercises but only do what your body actually requires. He suggest a walk a day as much better than a run, a jog, weightlifting or aerobics.
