Several years ago I realized that I was rather unfulfilled in my life.
I have been working my butt off for a number of years trying to make a living. However, none of my work ever seemed like it mattered. I was exhausted of catering to rich housewives & their spoiled children as a tennis teacher. 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 & satisfaction. That’s when I started off on a mission trip in the jungle. After a few years of living in a tepid & humid environment with really no heating or cooling devices, I grew rather accustomed to a minimalist way of life. I found all the pleasure that I was looking for without the help of any indoor air handling devices or current amenities. In fact, at night 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 US I found that it was difficult to settle back into current life. I was abruptly uncomfortable in the presence of high quality indoor air. The sound of a heating & cooling program clicking into gear kept myself and others awake all night. I was absolutely unsettled when the air conditioning component would start pumping cool air into my space after so several years in the tropical temperatures. Worst of all, I realized that I could not sleep at night without the sound of bugs buzzing away. To this day, I live without an Heating & A/C program & I use a white noise device to sleep at night.
