What's the purpose of life?

Hello! How are things?

How's life?

Coffee is life!

I don't know if it has to do with the planetary conjunction that happened recently or because the upcoming Lunar Eclipse, but I've been thinking about the purpose of life, the purpose of being alive.

I know, I know... you may be thinking that I'm not being grateful for my life or not giving the proper attention to it. It's not that!

Nowadays, when we start a conversation, people tend to lead it into politics all the time! The right, the left, the left, the right! Oh man! I just want to have a simple and relaxing conversation!

Conversation about music, books, the weather, food, anything but politics or religion or other things that may end up in a big discussion which will have no end!

And that's how good friendship of years are gone!

It's more than OK to have different opinions! More thank OK like blue and not green! It's way more than OK the simple fact of enjoying just one type of sport or none of it!

Because people are different! People have differente opinions! We are humans for God's sake!

Some can be more intelligent, some can be funnier, some can be moody and some just like to be quietly and alone. But no one has given up on being a human being.

And we have feelings! We are not Artificial Intelligence that is programmed to give happy or sad answers. I prefer having real friends who I can talk to, to having a conversation with Alexa or Siri.

I prefer choosing the songs I want to listen and not a radom suggestion by an AI.

So, what's the purpose of life?

In the, not so long past, our worries were about making friends at school, be part of a team at work, go to the supermarket and talk to people about the quality of the food, go to a coffee shop order something to eat and drink and stay there just for fun without smartwatches showing the messages received all the time!

We also could sleep better before the smartphones be part or our life 24/7! So, what's the purpose of our life?

I feel like we are being controlled by devices everywhere we go! We cannot breathe near our phones because as sson as we check it, there'll be a sponsored post showing something like: practice yoga and improve your breathing.

I'm nos saying that Ill stop using my phone or the Internet, it's just that I'm feeling that it's getting too much!

I never liked talking on the phone much (well, not when I was a teenager), but nowadays I miss it. But when we dial a number, it's not a human who answers the phone! It's a robot!!! And it takes aaaaaages to get to talk to a proper human! And sometimes, when we do, this human being doesn't know hot to talk or answer our questions, because they follow a script (maybe written by AI) and if our question has nothing to do with the script, sometimes they hang up the phone and we have to start over! That's not fair!

Maybe I am being extreme about AI because it's high technology, it helps doctors to find out the problem of the patient and it also helps nutritionists (like me) giving some advice about people's food intake and behaviour. But none of that substitutes a consultation and a follow-up with a professional.

OK, right? Riiiight!

Actually, it's not right! The problem is that people take the advice from the AI and do not look for a professional who is able to take care of them. And what happens next? As there's no follow-up, after the end of the "diet, they regain all the weight again.

At least this one is exercising!

"Ohhhh and then, they look for a professional, right?"

"WRONG!"

And it all starts over and over again!

So, what's the point? What's the purpose of studying to do the best we can?

What's the purpose of life?

Most of the time, people need some councelling. In nutrition, it's called nutritional counselling which I have the pleasure to be certified for and I know I can help a lot of people to change their eating habits without extreme diets, which do not work.

What's the purpose of your life? Have you ever thought about it?

Be safe!
