David/Perfection/Health

Seeing Michelangelo’s #David, I am not ashamed to say that my eyes filled with tears as him as I approached him for the first time

In the glow of that perfect form, I could not help but long for the superhero warrior that I used to be. In this battle we must admit that we will never reach the perfection of perfect health again. That said with all of our many flaws there is a maximum healthful state that we can all obtain and that should be our goal. We want to reach a place were we minimize pain, keep our brains sharp, build endurance, regain our agility and experience joy again. Ignoring the obvious giant slaying metaphor that would also work great here, I imagine that David at some point just like us imprisoned. With each other help and guidance we can remove or smooth over our imperfections and all like David reach our maximum healthful state.
