That is what we call my mom’s couch whenever we visit. The reason is that everyone who sits on it to watch some TV gets immediately exhausted and in a sort of trance. Usually it is a family bonding experience as my sisters put on a reality TV show and we drag all the rich snobs that complain about unimportant nonsense. The couch is also, I think, a metaphor for life.
The “object in motion, stays in motion” physics rule could not be more true for humans. Now that we have become more sedentary, it is more difficult to get up and start moving. I have always been the type of person who didn’t leave my house much and have one hobby: video games. The issue comes in when that extends to other parts of my life like taking care of my daughter or working from home. Mustering the will to get up and do things is tougher than I thought it was.
