A samurai does not live just to fill his stomach, he is not a slave to food, he lives to fulfill duties and devotion. Food is just extra, a gift from heaven. Don't be a man who is too busy looking for food, spending his life in doubt.

The author began to be intrigued by the question, do humans live to eat or eat to live?

To answer this question, there are several variables that must be answered.

1. The status of eating for humans .

Eating in terms of terminology means 1. putting the staple food into the mouth and chewing and swallowing it; 2. put something in the mouth, then chew and swallow it;

It can be concluded that temporarily eating is an activity to enter something (food) into the body.

Why Do Humans Need To Eat? Some people say they eat to enjoy life, so you don't get hungry, while others say they eat to get energy.

To find out, we must understand the human element.

Humans consist of biological and non biological elements. Biological elements; heart, brain, kidney, etc., Non biological elements; ability to think, and spirit. The two of them complement each other.

In order for a biological element to work optimally, it must meet certain conditions. For example; In order for the heart to be able to pump blood optimally, it must have a healthy heart, and have a supply of energy. Humans to be able to think optimally, must have knowledge, energy and will. Etc. If there is a lack of energy or energy, the result is the work of biological and non-biological organs, it will certainly decrease, but not to cause death as long as the energy / energy is not used up.

So that the position of eating is as a support activity to supply energy or energy to humans, so that they have energy and energy.

2. Human goals

Talking about goals, then talking about the direction of human life, or things that humans want to achieve / get.

In general knowledge, it is known that humans consist of body and soul.

That's why the song Indonesia Raya reads "wake up the soul, wake up the body"

Body is a material element, while soul is an immaterial element. The two of them are like yin-yang, and apart from that their duties complement each other.

Some say human goals:

1. Can be rich, can eat well, get a beautiful wife, have children, and so on.

2. Having usefulness (serving) for family, neighbors, and society.

3. Carry out God's rules.

A person's goals affect his behavior, if he chooses number 1 then he will only fight for the material aspects; a lot of money, a beautiful wife, have children, etc. If he chooses number 2, he will fight for that direction even if he is willing to earn a little, rarely meets family, etc. for his purpose to serve.

If it chooses number 3, it will proceed according to the creator's wish, and this is the highest level. Because whatever our behavior, will be based on the question "is this according to Allah's command or not?".

3. Conclusion

So it can be concluded that eating is a facility so that humans have energy / energy, so that they can carry out the chosen goal (Numbers 1, 2, 3).

And it is not true to say that humans live to eat, because the fact that human goals are very diverse, sometimes to achieve these goals, he is willing not to eat for several days. This proves that human life is not for eating.
