This Haiga was inspired by a prompt from Carpe Diem Haiku.

I shouldn't have to say this, but because there are people looking to take offense where there is none intended to the left and people looking for excuses to be offensive to the right, I will do so. The words in the Senryu are intended to describe my state, not the young man in the picture. While I can't attest to the soundness of his mind just by looking at him, he seems to be the picture (see what I did there?) of physical fitness.
While I'm at it, here is something else to consider.
Why do people think it's acceptable to belittle those with mental health issues or those who are not in prime physical condition?
If you're interested in reading more of my thoughts on this topic, check out the essay I wrote last month about body shaming in the medical profession and how this odious practice prevents people from seeking care.

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
