This week I had free time, but actually, it was busier than a workweek. First, I have a presentation about Digital Humans at the John von Neumann Computer Society conference. After the conference, my colleague told me I won the gold award at the most prestigious HR award in the Futureproof organization category. On Thursday, I had a speech about the award, where I could share my thoughts and what my essay was about. I was really waiting for the weekend, where I had time to swim in the cold water.
Coldwater is great. It helps you to maintain your immune system, and parallel with this, it cleans your mind. In the cold water, you forget everything that is not vital! After a few rounds of swimming, your body starts the recovery and reboot.
What came into my mind: Every day I read the news, and every day I find an article, which tells: Another died person who died in covid and was healthy!
My question: How could someone die if that person healthy?
I think the answer is more straightforward, like cold water!
Simply we don't have enough data or information about the health state of the person!
This is a general symptom: We often say things acceptable for a broader range of the population!
A few weeks ago I read an article which I strongly agree! COVID is a mirror for our general health state! It is a general problem that healthcare focus to cure symptoms rather than try to prevent problems!
If I go to a doctor and ask for prevention, they would drop me out and tell me: do not occupy the space from people who suffer from a disease!
And that's mean! Imagine if a car service would cut the check engine light's cable and tell your problem fixed! Would you be happy with the solution? The same is valid for healthcare!
The root cause is in a deep place! Every day how marketing changing our behaviors! We are living our days controlled by advertisements rather than real information!
We are eating the food that we saw in an advertisement rather than what is healthy.
But be honest! Most of society is not interested in health! They are happy with life, which is controlled by marketing agencies!
And here we arrive at the wisdom of the Merovingian from the Matrix!
"You see, there is only one constant, one universal, it is the only real truth: causality. Action – reaction; cause – and effect."
We can live with our decisions, but we are responsible for our decisions! We can live an unhealthy life with high blood pressure, eat high glucose sweets; we can gain overweight. But remember! You will have to accept the consequences! And face COVID with this concept!
It was not a surprise I changed my lifestyle a 180 degree. Started to measure and fix my vital parameters. The more we measure more, we understand! It is always not too late to start! Just a matter of determination!
