Our bodies are created by nature. In course of time, they are destroyed by nature as well. Nobody can maintain it for ever. Then, why to build it with so much of effort?

May be so. But why someone has to be like somebody else? If someone does not like his/her own natural shape, it is pathetic. Only natural things exist, all artificial things go. Isn't it?

I am afraid! I feel this concept is fundamentally wrong. Because a human being become stronger by virtue of his/her brain, and not because of having muscles. Do you agree?

Not exactly so. If I have understood your last line properly! I mean it is at whose cost? They just go on wasting their time -- fine their business. But it has several societal impacts -- more food consumption for one person, more space for an individual, more strong platforms for holding the weight and so on. Who provides that? The society, the nation, the world....

I agree with you that our body is created in a normal structure. But people, in their effort to come up with contests and programs of displaying the physical attributes of men, they started to build up muscles. Many even results in injecting something just to build those big muscles. For me, it's not normal to have those kind of muscles.

Truly so. Amount of time that they waste for this, could have been utilized for some good -- I mean productive purposes. Also, the amount of food that they need to consume could have been distributed among the poor people. At least each such person could save one person from starvation. Am I correct?
