ชีวิต ในปี 2567 (13)

(A new series on life issues in this year) Example 13: How to Live Properly
A body (of anybody) can be view as a ‘system’ with ‘input’, ‘output’, ‘control’ and ‘relation’ (position in space-time or ecological environment). When we look at food as input to our body and assess what ‘good food’ is (for our body), we often use indicators like taste, appearance, price, chemical residual, and (for some people) other intrinsic characters such as sugar content, fats, vitamins and minerals. For athletes, energy and protein contents may be important, too.

In a more (perhaps) scientific way, we ought to look at our body system and assess our need to maintain (adequate supplies for requirements for) proper functions over ‘long life’. We ought to look at energy and material expenditure (for the use of our body in activities in the environment) and aim to supply energy and materials to compensate (balance) these expenditures. [In other words: to obey conservation of energy and materials principles but with considerations for ‘growth’ and ‘decay’ (or aging).]

Like in industrial systems, we choose and process carefully the ‘input’, and we carefully choose and produce the ‘output’. Because we live in en environment, where and when our body is in relations to other bodes and things will limit our input and output. We relying on ‘control’ to keep our body system ‘going’ and ‘ourselves’ (as an intelligent being –body and mind) ‘going towards our goals’.

We ought to think in dynamic terms, in fuzzy terms (in some definite ‘ranges’ between min and max), quantum terms (as possibilities of ‘each in all’ that may happen), and intentional terms (to achieve targets through prioritization of resources). There are often ‘trade-off’ in the system. All input, output, control and relations can be ‘out-of-harmony’ and chaotically going.

But this is ‘life’ and in 2567 we need to rethink and relearn our way of life.
