A Body Electric, Grounded

I went on a walk.

I realized the unhappiness of the sedentary screen life creeps up on you.  Likewise, the joy of walking and noticing comes upon you equally subtly.

I don't know how I'd begin to convince someone to shun the one, prefer the other.  It's all a case of availability bias, the philosopher's toothache, even Buridan's donkey.  I go through long stretches of not knowing how to convince myself.
