I'm getting that you're working hard at what you enjoy. And that other stuff -- eating, and self care generally -- only matter for practical purposes. As long as you are taking good enough care of yourself to stay healthy, I don't think that it matters. > Do people enjoy things on their own merits or external factors coerces them to enjoy something? > I can't figure out the answer because I do most things for avoidance. That's a hard question. Some of the things that I enjoy are bad for me. Such as ice cream. So I've learned to enjoy basically frozen fruit juices. And I don't have ice cream around. That's certainly avoidance. I also make my own frozen food. Typically rice, beans, carrots, other vegetables, and some meat. So that's what's around to eat, and it doesn't take much work. Otherwise I'd eat junk, and end up fat and unhappy.
