    You should be taking care of your health for yourself, not for other people to see. Your life is not a spectacle

      Not the point of OOP. The point is that people often see success (say, doing well in a marathon or whatever) and discount it by saying the person is naturally good at whatever. Then they compare to themselves, and use the difference in outcome to claim that the person who is doing better just has some uncontrollable advantage over themselves. The meme tries to subvert this idea by pointing out that while the result is all you see, what you don’t see is all the hard work and sacrifice that went into achieving the goal.
