Thoughts today about the primary importance of physical health, as I see it. We are led to think of intellectual excellence as more important in the school system, but there is a saying from the novelist Samuel Lover in my book that “a hungry stomach has no ears.”
Hungry or, in my opinion, an out-of-shape one. I watched the Chris Farley “van-down-by-the-river” skit from SNL recently. He was sad because he was really funny but was mortally in bad shape. Self-deprecatory humor is a divisive issue.
A sound mind in sound body. Anima sana in corpore sano.
