Why?
Because being ill like that lets you exist in an undemanding sort of state for a while. Think about it, right? When you're feverish and feeling like shit, unless you have kids, nobody expects you to:
* clean or even tidy
* take out the trash
* go grocery shopping
* cook proper meals
* work
Basically, when you're ill, it's totally ok to just spend a few days on the couch, not wearing proper clothes, doing nothing. Wanna sleep, watch netflix, eat ice cream and drink tea with too much honey? Do it! Nobody's gonna judge you or think of you as lazy - after all, you're ill and you need to rest.
And that leaves me - I never get ill - angry and envious. As fuck. Because when, if I'm never ill, am I gonna get to exist in that undemanding sort of state? I mean, without working EXTRA hard first as to "deserve it".
Can anybody tell me when? Please. I'm dying to know.
