Those are so very clichéd but that’s how it is.
1. Travelling - just going somewhere, taking a train ride, just being on the move, a trek, or a place even 80-100km from the city or sometimes closer; for 1-2 days, or few months at a stretch. I really feel I’m breathing more, feel like I am “alive” (I don’t know how else to say this), I feel genuinely and effortlessly happy when I’m travelling. I sleep better (!!), I write when I travel.
2. Playing sports - my daily badminton or cricket used to be by daily battery charges which came crashing down at the start of the pandemic. Or running (I count that as sport - I really like running)
3. Literature and world cinema
- efrecon 4y agoAnd why would running not be a sport?
- uwagar 4y agono opponent. not interesting to watch.
- JimtheCoder 4y agoNever seen the Pamplona bull run?
- unop 4y agoTypically, this is the glib superficial answer a non-runner would have. To a runner, you are your own opponent, your feet and the terrain the challenges and the elation and endorphin rush afterwards the goal/reward. And watching running, well, watching capable elite runners glide effortlessly or outdoing themselves with a surge from deep within - it's kinda exhilarating just willing them on. And if that's not sport.. Not sure what qualifies :)
- uwagar 4y agosure, a 100m sprint is interesting. running by oneself is kinda psychotic. one being one's opponent is quite a private experience not a spectator sport.
- DougN7 4y agoI can understand enjoyment playing sports with others, but even after a couple of years of running I never came to enjoy it. What’s the secret?
