push-up

Description

A push-up is a daily ritual of cruelty that banks one’s own body weight as collateral, forcing a repayment of the debt called weak will. With each repetition comes the medal of muscle soreness, while one’s pride is pulverized against the floor in a silent duel with sloth. It starkly exposes the gulf between the ideal physique and real-life backbone shortage, reminding us of the cruelty hidden behind the virtue of “consistency”. Tasting the pain and self-loathing behind superficial achievement, one persists in an endless challenge. True resilience is nothing more than ironic self-torture forged in the hell of repetition.
