#Rowing

Rowing is the act of tormenting one’s will and muscles on water with oars disguised as poisons, boasting to deliver ideal body lines and inner peace. Far from graceful, it guarantees a morning-after awakening called 'exquisite pain' throughout the body. Within minutes, the mind cries "no more," only to be drowned by repeated lateral jumps across the surface. It is exercise therapy, as if lathering life’s woes onto blades. At its core, it is nothing more than self-discipline dressed as self-punishment.
