In other word, doing zazen feels good, and/or you feel good in the inter-sitting period. Yes?

(Bearing in mind that you do not do zazen, zazen does the sitter.). I continue to sit because I am human. I presume your experience of Zen training left you with a different perspective. It is pretty much why I apologize when I step on a person's foot, or why I put dirty laundry in the washing machine, or pick up trash that I walk by. It fits life.
