I remember the hadith about Ammal and Niyyat, I feel the purpose of roza is to make you have empathy for the hungry and if you post pictures of feasts that will make even someone like me envious then how is that keeping in the spirit of the month. Actions required have a reason and purpose and if we forego the reason then what good is the action.

The empathy for the hungry is something may come along with it but not the purpose itself. My purpose during the month is to get closer to Allah by developing discipline/good habits to carry on even after the month.

Given my purpose, there are more important things for me to focus on than eating. As for others, as long as they’re eating when it’s permissible to eat, I don’t see a problem with that.
