Partly because I’m envious of their level of motivation which is foreign to me but mainly because they’re often rewarded and admired for simply having brains wired with better dopaminergic pathways or perhaps even a naturally more competitive nature or a lower self worth which requires constant internal and external validation through achievement. 

Why else would someone run 40km+ until their feet are blistering or pursue an incredibly challenging and stressful but prestigious career? 

Thanks for listening
