So I just felt like making an odd thread today.
What do you think of your body?
-Is your body just something that gets your head around places or something more?
-Do you like sports or any activities of the sort?
-If you were completely paralyzed from the neck down, would you feel compelled to commit suicide?
-How much money would you accept for one of your arms or legs?
-Would you choose to be able to see your ideal world at the expense of your body?(like a ghost lol)
I've given some thought to this and I think of my body as a bit of nuisance and pet. Like, do I really HAVE to feed it? Why NOW? But I try to eat healthily and get exercise because I do enjoy the world and would like to stay in it for awhile. After all, without my body I can't daydream, write, think, see the world, or idealize it. So I do have to respect my body. I think of it as a payoff for the benefits of being alive and keeping my mind active and energetic through good foods. Y'know, kind of like how you have to feed your pet in order to enjoy being able to play with it and pet it

Unfortunately, I do become kind of negligent of my body sometimes, poor thing.
I do enjoy some physical activites (not sports, more like biking around or swimming) but I don't do them particurally often because they tend to be off my radar. I don't even think about going for a bike ride, my first thought is "Let's read a book or write a story" I do want to do more physical activities and I want to join the swim team.
If I were paralysed would I commit suicide - Are you crazy? Of course not! I could still see the wonderful world and talk to its wonderful people and even still write my books by having someone write them down or something. I would be fine, it would be just a bit of an inconvinience to me and I would probably not fulfill my dream of getting married one day.
How much money would I accept for arms or legs? I think I would be willing to give up a leg if I was very desperate and for a lot of money - like, a million. But that's about it.
Would I choose to see my ideal world at the expense of my body? Interesting question. I don't think so, because if I listed what I thought my ideal world was and then it happened, I'm sure I'd have a few issues with it. You see, I don't have have an ideal world in mind. I will just spontaneously idealize things. Like, "I wish I didn't have to do homework". that would be pretty ideal, right? Except the world can't possibly work effectively that way so I've accepted that. And I have a habit of getting what I want and then idealizing it further. I think "I really want an iPod. An iPod would be most wonderful and perfect to have" and then I get it, and its limitations still frustrate me because I imagine that it will make my life wonderful and it doesn't. I doubt an ideal world would either.
