Summary

This quote humorously suggests that the speaker's friends are so active and physically fit that they require no assistance or exercise themselves, leaving the speaker to simply participate in their friends' activities in a different way - by acting as a pallbearer, carrying their metaphorical "burden" of exercise. It highlights the contrast between the speaker's level of fitness and that of their friends, using exaggeration to relay the idea that their friends are on a whole other level in terms of exercise and physical prowess.

And it is hard to decide which is likely to be the more ominous for the Axis -- an American decision that this is sport, or that it is business.

I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves, whether it's shyness, insecurity, anxiety, whether it's a physical block, and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.

Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.
