Having your house bombed, being drafted and forced to fight a war. Having most of your family die of plague. Being raped repeatedly by a rich man with no way of ending it because you're poor. These are struggles. Trying to work out how to pay your bills, or get up on a Monday morning to face your job, are not in the same league.

Exercise was used as a punishment during most of my schooling. It's not "fun" (otherwise the punishment wouldn't work). "drop and give me 20" is a punishment, not a reward. Getting addicted to something doesn't mean it's "fun".

You may enjoy exercise. Good for you, I'm jealous. Wish I did. But the reality for the majority of people out there is that it's a chore that they'd rather not do if at all possible.

And thanks for telling me about my depression. Please, go on, tell me more about my life that you clearly understand so much better than me...
