Everyone has heard the term"RIGOR MORTIS".
But what of its counterpart, "RIGOR VITAS" ?? Write a little expose'.
--Use any nations, cultures, philosophies terminology and colloquialisms.
Expound an interesting view, focused or broad, sincere,pragmatic or humorous.
**No quarter**No harm**No foul**.(you don't have to play nice, let alone be PC)

NOTES...In my questions &answers I've repeatedly cycled into the term "mortal coils" which are the the things that bind us to mortality as our bounds skirted
in life reminding us we are limited and burdened. Some are inherent in our physical make up and function, some in environment, some in consequence of society; and though we push on with what strength we have to bear what we must, we never fail to approach more boundaries, more limiting factors that put a further drag on us toward mortality, yet we approach these willingly. More the so, we even innovate these beyond mere burdens, to find use of them to further our life's meaning , esp towards renewing ourselves through new generations.
That is the secret of Humanity. This ability is what makes limited life superior to immortality, whose chains are forever fettering for no other purpose, never a change. Prometheus on a leash with some slack cut for him, is what we've become.

BEST STORY & AT2'D wins. Have Fun. Be interesting, shift your chains!

What rigor racks your life? And what, if any adaptations or innovations spring to your mind?

Short story, mini-expose'?
EXAMPLE: [rigors,remember, are tensions or unyeilding stiffness in any aspect of life, something ungiving, but unlike in death, interfering with a morticians work, these form burdens, barriers, inhibitances, and restraints that we tolerate by no other choice, adapt, adjust to, because it is inherent in our living days, thus our mortal coils]: an easy one would be the "stiff upper lip" of the English, but you can be a little "Brit" different, even to the point of singing the "blues".But by all means, metaphor, allegor, and subliminize away. Show what "stays" your life and how you manage your stay on Earth.
Your exit from life already has a programmed rigor, maybe you "Vitas"
experience is what can help you get through this last doorway to loosen up for the afterlife!

The rigor that racks my life would be the fact that I have the knowledge to work the jobs that require a degree above Associates. I've been in banking for several years and know for a fact that I can run a branch or region. Even though I might not have the title does not mean that I lack the knowledge of how something is to be done.
In the U.S., Society in this day and age, runs on this "Apprentice Show" attitude, when each person should be given merit where merit is due.
It's kind of like a reverse "glass ceiling" where you know that it can be done but no one wants you to do it, even though you know you can.
Most 3rd world countries work on experience in a given field and not on schooling. Yes, I do agree on some sort of schooling for certain jobs, but if you have been working in a field of work for several several years, then why would anyone want anyone else.
Society in the U.S. has this "degree above expirence" mentallity and I don't agree. If I were drafted into war without any training or knowledge, you bet I would be hanging out with someone who has!

The greatest difficulty in my life is also my greatest joy. It is my greatest pain, and my greatest pleasure. I dont know some days whether I want it, and then other days cant imagine myself without it. It is simultaneously confounding, reassuring, frustrating, calming, boring, and exciting. There are few things in the world that can make one feel like this. The thing of which I speak is Marriage. Yes that's spelled with a capital M in my book.
When I'm depressed, I look into her beautiful smiling face and my heart is lifted to the sun. When she's depressed, it can be the greatest sadness in the world for me because I feel like I let her down in some way. When I'm bored, just having her around makes the whole world more exciting. When we disagree, it is the most frustrating thing in the world, but when I'm frustrated, holding her is a balm on my soul. She makes my life worth so much more, but at the same time, I'm sure that the stress of the relationship is tearing years from my life.
Thus far, I've found the rewards outweigh the downsides, but at the same time I've found myself teetering on the edge of giving up to go back to the easy life of just having to please myself(in more than one way) It can bring tears to my eyes considering leaving, but sometimes the pain of staying is just as bad.
My goal is to get her to understand how things are, and to just enjoy our relationship without all of these arguements that tend to be over things that don't even matter, because when we are good, it is the most wonderful experience in the world to just be near her, to hold her as we wait in line somewhere, anywhere. I only worry when my chest actually starts to get sore from the stress. All I can do is hope for the best, and I guess that's all anyone can do. Love is the greatest burden and also the greatest bolster in anyone's life.
