Join Life


By Khaled Alnobani (Jordan)

“I need help,” the young woman told the doctor.

"Why? I see you are well,” the physician replied.

"I feel weak,” the woman answered.

"Why?” The physician appeared to the woman as nonsense but at least he told her what he is going to prescribe for her.

“I don’t know; you tell me,” she added.

"I don’t know, I just I feel like that.”

Ten years later she was talking with her life coach and she told her: ”This huge weakness couldn’t come overnight; this must be a result of long emotional stress.”

“Yes, I trusted someone and she, with support from her friends, guaranteed all that stress,” the woman answered.

“How you can tell? To be sure you should see with your own eyes,” the life coach commented.

“Yes I saw her; she was pointing her finger to my direction and telling me, squeeze her,” the woman replied.

“Whether her motivation was hatred or entertainment, that doesn’t help now. We must go forward and not look back,” the life coach said.

“In the present, the situation is horrible.”

"I’m a physician, I am not a psychiatrist, so I will prescribe Iron for you.” He was talking emotionlessly.

This conversation happened but not in these details.

What is the secret in these settings, future, four groups, noon, multiple tables, multiple chairs and few of the best people in the city with a life coach. I am interested only in one group, but that doesn’t mean that the others are not important, no, not at all.

They were discussing judgment decisions. Can we judge anything irrespective of anything else, inside us, without any outside information. Can we?

"Yes we can,” said the woman.

"First impressions,” said one of the group.

"Or break the ice,” said another one.

"We can judge things or situations but not people.”

"Is it too dangerous to judge people?”

"Yes,” said the woman.”

“If we trusted the wrong people it will be a disaster,” the woman added.

"We will build relationships with them, we will not ask them for a favour,” said one of the group.

"Maybe one day we will need them,” someone else said.

"First impressions don’t help.”

A dialog began in someone’s head:

If someone asked me what is the difference between a life coach and a psychiatrist, I will answer with a great confidence because I know, one gives medications with significant side effects and the other gives you skills for life.

Sometimes the cure which is given by a psychiatrist is more problematic than the illness itself and makes unbelievable reactions, things no-one can predict or imagine.

“You will not believe what happened,” said the woman.

“Strange! “ she added.

“What?” said the life coach.

“Triple suicide attempts,” the woman told her.

"Oh, no, three times.”

"Yes there wasn’t a roof to jump from and do the job in one time.”

"You will ask yourself why to live anymore?” said the woman.

"Why to live anymore?” the life coach said.

"This is my past. Now I have a vision for my life,” the woman told the life coach.

"I joined groups with life coach, to change my life.”

“One has done the ultimate sin,” the woman told the life coach.

“What you mean?”

“Somebody used artificial intelligence to write flash prose, epigram, aphorism, literary thought, literary reflections, idea,” the woman told her life coach.

"But, why? And why this thesaurus”

"To impress me,” the woman answered.

“Are you sure? This shouldn’t happen in my class.”

“Of course, I know it from the first sight. It mentions grave and branches of olive tree in it, as if the ground is his mother. The AI skills are obviously revealed.”

"The AI is unbelievable, how can it write like that? How it can feel smell and even see and describe everything in marvellous descriptive language,” the life coach wondered.

"I have strong evidence that it is only magic, AI is magic,” the woman answered.

"From whom this idea came, I don’t know, it is new and overwhelming.”

"Why do you have this idea, my friend?”

"It looks like some of the tricks I have seen in magic.”

“Where is the point when you can say that AI is not thinking.”

The life coach told the woman, “Don’t bother yourself with AI. You should resolve something with the psychiatrist.”

"What?” the woman asked her life coach.

"First, you can’t quit your drugs because your symptoms are chronic.”

"And? “

"You must forget about these symptoms. And you must not imprison your behaviour with them.”

"Stress has three directions, each direction with three different directions: sheer, strain and stress.”

"Actually there are nine directions.”

"It is more like that stress is an object,” the life coach said.

"Why are you discussing this with me? I have memorized stress by heart now,” the woman told her.

"Remember something.”

The life coach added: “Fundamentals and basics, you must look for them anywhere. Even if you were watching insects, the most primitive type of living beings.”

“I am telling you that because I must manage your stress problems,” the life coach commented.

“Can you?”

“There are stress residuals that we must work on.”

She added: “There are three types of characters, first are good or bad, second as the first but with additional negative characteristics, and finally good or bad with agenda. Your false friend was that.”

“I will work with you on your personality, you will take practical experiences and exercises.”

“What about chemical psychiatric drugs.” Said the woman.

“If you worked with the doctor about the dose you should not worry about them,” the life coach answered with relieving voice.

“I was taking very expensive drugs. I spent my whole salary on them.”

“Thank God you have work and salary, people diagnosed like you are going astray in the streets.”

She added:

“Then you know why there should be psychic patients. To keep the tires of big drugs companies rolling.”

The life coach was relaxed, brief, quiet and very powerful. She mastered her job well, with great confidence.
