This happened to me a couple days ago; still been stirring it over in my head for the past few days.
Last week I walked into the gym; having one of "those" days. You know; where you're complaining about not having enough size, or not growing at the rate you think you should, meals aren't digesting well, life is horrible...The usual bullshit bodybuilders go through
I walked over to the machine area for legs; and there was a kid there looking over at me. Both of his arms were missing; from basically the clavicle down. He asked me if I could adjust the weight on the leg extension for him, he thanked me for it, and went about doing leg extensions with a smile on his face.
Man did I feel like a shit that entire workout. You got a person here with once of the worst possible scenarios in life just enjoying physical activity, and I'm complaining about some obscure "look" that I don't have.
Makes me think of the many things I'm grateful for in life; a healthy body, more than enough food, the ability to attend school, a roof over my head.
Guess I'm sort of rambling; It's a blessing to get these reality checks in life once in a while.
