I wanted to say the same thing, use it or lose it.
Pain sometimes comes from injury or other mechanism, but loads of people with back pain just need to exercise more.
A strong back will do wonders.
Likewise a strong wrist will resist keyboard pain. It won't tolerate bad typing posture or a crappy keyboard, but it will resist pain with a good ergo keyboard and good posture
Five years later I was 60lb/27kg heavier and needed to go on keto to break the bread habit. Sigh. Took me almost as long to lose an the weight, but I've kept it off now for almost ten years!
I know a Thomas too! He's the straight cis eye of a queer hurricane. And it wasn't always this way, he just keeps pulling folks into his massive orbit. Folks who later realize they are queer. He never brings it up or even seems to notice.
I finally realized what's going on and it's just a little weird. Like, what the hell is going on? Do my friends even have free will?! Do I?!
I conclude that Thomas has such a pure heart and loves so freely that he innervates people with restless souls. They/we are drawn to this vibe like planets in his solar orbit.
Yeah, TBF I was really just making a snarky dig at the misogyny in the evangelical world.
I can immediately think of a counter example: the Golden Compass. It's written by a man, but basically takes the stance that the devil is the good guy and has a main character whose best skill is the ability to lie so well she can pretty much always get what she wants. The church equivalent abuses children and looks the other way about it when confronted 💀
Unsurprisingly that series isn't too popular among fundies
It's my first playthrough and my makes my heart feel big feels. Also makes my blood pressure skyrocket. That wind level had me so tense, but then the feather came out and I was like who is cutting onions in here
I listened to it while lifting, and now every time I lift while listening to something else I'm like "ugh this book is fine but it's no Silmarillion"
I've listened to dozens of great books at the gym, but there's only two I've wanted to listen to a second time: Silmarillion and Norse Mythology by Neil Gaimon
There's just such a vibe to those books. The stories are short, but they feel ancient. I feel rooted when I listen to them.
That and when I'm trying to fall asleep and it's winter. I'm cozy and feeling the hygge. I've got my warm drink and blankets and I want a bedtime story of how Morgoth was cast down

The seller though usually turns around and spends all that money on a bigger place, taking out a larger mortgage with greater interest payments.
So realistically the only entity profiting from rising house prices are banks and real estate agents.
Sellers feel richer, but then they lose it on the next place that is more expensive
