Every day Quote by Anonymous
“Feeling bad for someone who fasts is like feeling bad for someone who exercises. You wouldn't go to someone who's really fit and goes to the gym every day and say 'Wow, I feel so bad for you. You have to go the gym every day? That must be so hard. Are you sure that's healthy? How many miles do you run? Oh you poor thing! And you don't eat any unhealthy food? Wow, but you can have ice cream right? Seriously?! Not even ice cream? Wow that's crazy I can't believe you do that to yourself.'”

Sympathy for someone who fasts is misplaced, just as pity for a regular gym-goer is absurd; both are choices, not misfortunes.
In simple terms: Feeling sorry for people who choose difficult habits is unreasonable.
