Exercise is only good if it makes you happy. If you're happy with who you are the way you are, without having to change, that matters more than looking a certain way. If you work out because somebody else thinks you should diet, change, or look a certain way, it's no good. The point of exercise is to improve/maintain your physical mobility mostly (for doing what you love to do in life), not to look like something from a magazine cover. There's a difference between loving yourself and being in love with yourself, so when someone tries to tell you that being okay with the way you are without changing is narcissism, let them know if they had any heart they would look you in the eye when they said it instead of their eyes darting around the room at everyone and everything else.
Exercise is not a bad thing or a punishment, getting an ass whooping is a punishment, though it's mild compared to medieval torture. Still, if exercise becomes something you no longer enjoy, at least you don't have to do it if you don't really want to.

There's a difference between recognizing unrealistic expectations by an employer or government (trying to do physical work and breathe through a mask at the same time, for example) and saying go fuck yourself to the folks making the mandates and their wildfire/changes, and giving up on finding a job or living life. Most people below retirement age really do want to work, they also know what the realities of it are.
Not working at times when a government threatens to shut everything down on a regular basis and keeps people from finding a working/living rhythm isn't the same thing as refusing to work/live, or giving up on work/life entirely.

They had convinced people living there that it was a good idea to relocate, even though they had lived there for years, based on natural disasters and climate change.

To spray hand sanitizer and disinfectant all over the past, so that people forget what it was really like in favor of what they read about it being like in a book.

Sweden is now giving themselves a hard time because other countries do after being the country that didn't give in to the mass panic other countries did give in to. They are now convincing themselves they did something wrong because they are outnumbered by countries that gave in to mass panic, and thought the Swedes should do the same.
It's no wonder Sweden is neutral, the way they let other countries push them around, from policy to everything else. If you're going to do something you might as well keep sticking with it. The economy isn't good anywhere, so of course it's not going to be good in Sweden either. They'll have to fight just like any other country to keep sticking with what they're doing. They don't think they are better than anyone.

Thanks to the grief tragedy sympathy hope industry, the aviation museum that always had a name good enough for the residents of the city that went there had to change it's name to honor a guy they were told was their hero, rather than anybody asking them who their personal heroes were. Perhaps their personal heroes were a family member or someone from closer to home than Texas, but since nobody asked them, they were forced to adopt a guy they were told was their hero as their personal hero, without any room for anyone else (since many of them thought the name of the museum was good enough as it was, without being forced to change, and it was going to get changed to a preselected name chosen by the "new guard" instead of by the residents).
