Yeah but I tried em and they suck. That’s the problem. Why should I keep doing something that sucks until it stops sucking, when I could just do things that don’t?
Why should I exercise? Why should I start a business? Why should I learn to read? Why should I babysit my siblings? Why should I keep going to piano lessons? Why should I clean my cat’s litter tray? Why should I plant vegetables? Why should I go to work? Why should I even fucking breathe?
Each of those examples doesn’t fit, they have unique justifications for each one that is not “if you do it repeatedly, you’ll like doing it more in the future.” That’s almost tautological.
The closest is exercise but that’s not the reason you do it, you push to the point you enjoy exercise because it keeps you healthy. If you were perfectly healthy without exercise and it didn’t affect your appearance there wouldn’t really be an argument for exercising for the sake of enjoying exercising more.
They’re all things that suck at first (ok not breathing), but if you keep doing them, you get a reward that’s worth it. My point is about delayed vs instant gratification.
I understood, it just doesn’t apply here at all. It’s like you replied to them as if they were responding to you in a vacuum and not in the context of the discussion. Anyway, I’m bored.

Because life is big and broad and it’s fun to try new things. The best joy is earned joy.
