treadmill
A treadmill is a metallic belt that forces you to run endlessly in place, a diabolical device that lets you experience exercise as suffering at home. Flip the switch and your sweat and defeat cycle without mercy; stop it and guilt floods in. It exposes your frail will to fitness while addictively clutching its remote. Its true masterpiece is teaching you the delicate balance between self-pity and fleeting pleasure. It betrays your comfort craving under the guise of progress and embodies the eternal treadmill of modern virtue.
