“The human body is like a condominium: The thing that keeps you from really enjoying it is the maintenance”

Jerry Seinfeld

Simplified Meaning:

Think of your body like an apartment building where you live. Just like how an apartment needs regular cleaning and repairs to stay nice and comfortable, your body also needs constant care to stay healthy and feel good. Sometimes, you might find that all the effort to keep your body in good shape can be tiring or even frustrating. It can feel like a lot of work to exercise regularly, eat healthy foods, and get enough sleep. For example, imagine you have a nice apartment – if you don't clean it, fix things that break, or pay attention to small problems, soon, it’s not a pleasant place to live anymore. Similarly, if you ignore taking care of your body, like not eating well or skipping sleep, you won't be able to enjoy life fully because you might get tired easily or even get sick. In your daily life, try to see the time you spend taking care of yourself as important work that helps you enjoy life more. By regularly maintaining your health, you ensure that your 'apartment' – your body – stays a comfortable and pleasant place to live in. So, even though it can seem like a lot of work sometimes, it's worth it because it allows you to enjoy everything else in life.
