Not So Daily Haiku #2

I got it all wrong
The diagnosis is wrong
The gym does not help

Presumably something ails you? Your hypothesis is not without merit. But for someone who already has the bases covered (you are young and glow with health and probably already exercise more than the average person or definitely more than I do), maybe you should look into another transformative panacea. There is a plethora of original stuff out there. I suggest magnet therapy? http://www.skepdic.com/

ah! yes, the ailment is missing the diagnosis of the patient's ailment. always irritating. my ailment is the irritation. yes, the bases are often quite uncovered, and rained upon and i never clean up the mold--but i think that's way life goes. my gym haikus are pending--i love physical movement (even more when i go without it!), and yet the gym is a horrendous collection of hamster wheels (i do like hamseters, however). And i do enjoy this skepdic.com; quite fascinating!

ah, I see haikus are vulnerable to being logically misinterpreted. perhaps if it came to be part of a vast body of work consisting of haikus (pending as you say), the clarity would be heightened.

Physical movement is a legitimate and fascinating area of philosophical research, sorely underlooked. There just aren't people brave enough to pursue it professionally and seriously and earnestly. For my part, I do my best philosophy when I explore my body's rhythms and kinesthetic potentialities whilst on treadmill (a la Da Vinci). All my thinking is ultimately physical (I wrote my thesis on the emotional aspect of language).
