    You know, I hadn't really thought it through at the time, that moment was just streaming consciousness. That's the funny thing about writing through this medium, we can have a thought which would usually be fleeting in "nature", but somehow we elevate that moment to something sleightly greater. To answer the question, yes and no, or no and yes depending on the whether. Hmmm, I'm not sure what your use of quotes around natural implies. It seems to me to have different meanings in each sentence, and so the argument relies on some rhetorical sleight-of-hand. Whereas "naturally occurring" in the first part of the argument implies something produced through nature, "natural" in the second sentence, I think, is a commonly used synonym for "normal", a social construct. Do you mean that it's not normal for some athletes to train as obsessively as they do? In a relatively sedentary society, it's not normal. But it's perfectly natural, in a genetic sense.

    Is that something like write before you think? Or Only say what you want repeated. Or Old age is better then the alternative.
