Hey guys, I’m trying to work on an essay/course on the purpose of physical exercise and could use your input. What are your personal reasons for going to the gym and training? What helps you stay consistent?

Context: Moses was living in the house of Pharaoh. He had survived being killed as a newborn baby, thanks to his mother and the daughter of Pharaoh. As he grows up, he seems to have a sense that he doesn't belong in the house of Pharaoh and that the Hebrews are actually his people. One day he goes out and sees an Egyptian attacking a Hebrew. Moses slays the Egyptian and buries him in the sand. Shortly after that, Moses witnesses two Hebrews fighting with one another. He goes to mediate the fight, but when one calls him out for killing the Egyptian, he flees into the desert to a well. There he meets his wife, a Midianite, and protects her and her sisters from thuggish shepherds. Shortly after this, he encounters God on Mount Horeb in the burning bush. Analysis: Defending your Brother, Home, Faith, Tradition. In this story, Moses is a Hebrew disguised as an Egyptian. He dresses like them, lives with them, eats with them. By all appearances, He is an Egyptian. However, we know his true heritage is with Hebrews. Moses also seems to have an inclination of that as well. Moses being confronted with the Egyptian attacking the Hebrew is a decision point for him. Does he choose to sit back and watch his true brother get attacked and even killed? Or does he make his decision to identify with the Hebrew and defend him? We face challenges like this all the time. When your tradition, your home, your beliefs are attacked by an outsider seeking to destroy, how do you respond? Some people choose to respond by ignoring it. Others choose to respond by assuming they deserve it. The way Moses responds is to defend. Healing Conflict inside the tradition, home, mind. The second situation is a little different. In the second fight Moses comes across, it is not between an Egyptian and a Hebrew, but between two Hebrews. How do you respond when there is fighting inside the home? One way to think about the difference between the two is to think about the difference between your home and your work. At work, if there is someone attacking (verbally or physically) another co-worker, the boss is warranted in cutting them off from the company and kicking them to the curb. However, if the same situation is happening between your kids or another family member, it is not wise to banish them into exile or death. (No matter how bad you may want to sometimes)
