Several years ago I realized that I was rather unfulfilled in my life.
I have been laboring my butt off for a number of years trying to make a living.
However, none of my toil ever seemed like it mattered. I was tired of catering to rich housewives and their spoiled children as a tennis instructor. I decided I was going to do something more meaningful with my short existence on this Earth so that I could finally find inner peace and satisfaction. That’s when I started off on a mission trip in the jungle. After a few years of living in a warm and humid environment with absolutely no heating or cooling devices, I grew rather accustomed to a minimalist way of life. I found all the delight that I was looking for separate from the help of any indoor air handling devices or new amenities. In fact, at evening the only comfort was the sound of a billion buzzing bugs rather than a high-quality indoor air temperature control device. After I moved back to the United States I found that it was hard to settle back into new life. I was hastily uncomfortable in the presence of high quality indoor air. The sound of a heating and cooling system clicking into gear kept me awake all evening. I was absolutely unsettled when the air conditioner unit would start pumping cool air into my space after so several years in the tropical temperatures. Worst of all, I realized that I couldn’t sleep at evening separate from the sound of bugs buzzing away. To this afternoon, I live separate from an Heating and Air Conditioning system and I use a white noise unit to sleep at evening.
