Hula Hooping

Breaking News: Heart Disease Outbreak kills billions; hula hooping might do the trick, says Dr. Lit.

Here are the details during the tell-all interview.

1: What do you mean by hula hoop Doc?

2: A hula hoop is a toy that is twirled around the waist, limbs or neck. Children and adults around the world have played with this, twirling, rolling and throwing throughout history.

1: So, we are talking about an ordinary hula hoop?

2: Definitely.

1: How can this help lessen the cases of heart disease?

2: In the 14th century, doctors treated patients suffering from pain and heart failure through hooping. It’s time to bring back hula hooping.

1: Have you ever been in a relationship?

2: Is that even related to the topic?

1: Trust me Doc.

2: If you are wasting my time, I am telling you, I am suing this TV station.

1: But if I won’t, you have to donate hula hoops to all the hospital patients suffering from heart disease.

2: Deal.

1: Have you been into intimate relationships?

2: I don’t think so.

1: Have you ever been inloved?

2: I never entered any relationship so how can I be inloved? Can you be more logical?

1:  Sometimes, two persons are inloved but time and situations won’t allow it. And YOU CAN STILL BE INLOVE WITHOUT COMMITMENT.

2: Then that is not love. Love is a two-way process. If it’s unrequited, it’s not love. If you cannot defy time and situations, it’s not love.

1: Have you ever tried to love?

2: Be more specific.

1: Loving your family? Job? Research ?

2: I am sorry but we do not TRY to love our family. We do not even LEARN how to love them. We just love them for who and what they are.

1: You sound like we don’t have any choice but to love our family?

2: We always have a choice. And I choose to love them.

1: Have you ever been hurt because of love?

2: Love cannot hurt us, only people can. You know why many people have heart disease in our generation? Because they are overusing their heart! If they only maximized their brains, they would have been healthier and more productive. That’s why we have to reconsider hula hoops.

1: Have you ever hurt someone?

2: Of course. I am not perfect.

1: Did you choose to hurt him?

2: Inflicting pain is intentional. 

1: Why did you hurt him?

2: It’s for the better.

1: Better?

2: If I hurt him later, it’ll hurt more. Why prolong the agony?

1: What if he decides to wait and stay?

2: I told you. We always have a choice. If he wants to wait, let him. He’ll get tired eventually.  

1: But what if you fall inlove with him in the long run?

2: I will never fall in love.

1: You never know Doc. Life is full of surprises and the heart, like the brain, can be so confused that we’d rather ignore our feelings than get hurt. We are afraid of what has not happened yet. Why can’t we stop predicting the future and live only in the present?

2:   So that we can save ourselves.

1: Can you really save yourself?

2: Yes by choosing not to give my heart.

1: Then you have not lived.

2: This is my life.

1: You are so difficult to love Doc.

2: Did I ask you to love me?

1: No.

2: Good. Why are you asking me these weird questions?

1: I think that hula hooping is not REALLY for those who have heart disease.  

2: Are you contesting my research?                                

1: There are things that cannot be cured. There are things that are irreversible.

2: Hula hooping is a core exercise like no other. It also results in improved heart health by strengthening the heart muscle, allowing it to pump more efficiently and reducing both heart rate and blood pressure.

1: By simply loving, my heart is strengthened, it pumps like it will burst any moment. Loving is the cure to heart disease.  We don't exactly need hula hoops. 

2: Are you a doctor?

1: Are you a person?

2: Red, stop.

1: You are right. I am tired.
