The Blessings of Aches

When you ache, you are feeling your body rebelling against the artificial inactivity of modern life. Your body knows, down in its genes, that you're supposed to sweat, supposed to be hungry, supposed to hurt. Your comfortable bloated inactive lifestyle is anathema to what your biology wants of you. Everytime you feel the burn in your muscles after a workout you are feeling your body slowly returning to the state it knows it should be in. One of activity. So revel in your pain. Enjoy your sweat. Laugh with your aches. You're closer to what your ancestors knew was the true state of being.
