I have never done much manual work in my life, don't even know to what level it has affected me.
In 2017, a friend of mine, who is a national level athlete, told me that he wasn't training for the last one year. So he asked me to start running, going to gym etc, from the next day. Basically start training again with him. He would have some company.
He told me to come at 5:30 the next morning. I was waking up at 11-12 in the noon at that time.
I have never run in my life prior to 2017, and I was 23.
But the next day, I showed up, exactly at 5:30. Started running, training with him. And continued for the next 6 months. It is one of the best memory in my life in terms of achievements.
Those 6 months taught me how much physical fitness change a person. Now, everyday I work out, play badminton, go for a jog, it makes me more happy.
The thing in today's world is that there is no manual labour. Nobody wants to do it.
My dad was a cop, he retired and now grows crops, does 10x more work than me or someone of my age. All his life, he loved doing hard manual work, work in and around house.
So, he is quite strong mentally.
Then I see kids, who cries for two hours because their pizza isn't right.
I don't know, but lack of physical movement has weakened the people. Sitting in front of laptop to do all the work might have made life more easy but surely made people mentally weak.
I am pretty sure that if the world goes back to swords, most won't survive today.
It is good for the soul.
Because of this. Activity matters.
In general, you will likely notice that the people who keep physically fit all their life through meaningful activity, will generally also have a strong mind later in life.
lol...They are screwed by the time they are 40 :D
Survival of the fittest is less relevant at the moment, because we have built a haven for the feeble. There is social value in some protection, but it moves into weakness if expanded into wrapping in psychological cotton wool.
Thanks for your great comment
