The Chasm Between Wisdom and Virtue

I have not exercised in 8 months beyond the occasional more active outing that would consist of wheeling around on a relatively flat hard surface.  This morning I was overwhelmed by self-pity due to my rapidly aging body and so skipped going to a morning meeting—that did not help my attitude.  Fortunately lunch with a friend and therapy resulted in feeling much better and some activity.

I am not much of a “hater”.  I do hate the tyranny of insanity that results in my doing much less than I know would be good for me while feeling bad about not doing anything.

I am grateful for the scheduled structure in my life that gets me out of my head and into the action of getting out interacting with others.   It makes it a lot easier to help downsize the chasm between knowing what is good for me (wisdom) and doing what is good for me (virtue).
