50 in 50: Physical Labour

2025-06-09 fifty-in-fifty • 110 words
What's your relationship with physical labor? Do you enjoy, accept or avoid it?

I tolerate it. I work an office job, and don't tend to do much in terms of gym or physical work. I do of course do the allotment, which is not particularly taxing but is still technically physical labour. I think a certain amount is good for the psyche. I think, for an intellectual (not as in smart, but as in, psychically-predisposed) man, it is necessary to also do an amount in the physical world so as not to become disjunct to it. I do try and avoid it all I can, though, even knowing I shouldn't.

I would like to try doing some carpentry and the like someday, though.
