I find it particularly taxing to understand how people can comfortably and happily live without air conditioner, especially where I come from.
I live in a subtropical location that feels like Summer most of the year. Not only that, the humidity stays pretty high all year long. Without good air conditioner, humidity seeps into the apartment causing mold and mildew and destroying things like books and paper. Not only that, humidity sticks to the skin and makes it strenuous for sweat to evaporate. It’s particularly easy to get warm in humid weather. And people willingly and happily live with the heat and humidity of this tropical part without air conditioner. I just don’t understand it. I genuinely couldn’t live comfortably and happily without air conditioner. It’s disappointing enough when a storm comes through and knocks out the power for a couple of hours to a couple of days, but to never have air conditioner would be disappointing for my physical and mental health. My body doesn’t like to transport in the heat and humidity, and bodies need to transport to stay healthy. I would be sedate without air conditioner, and nothing would get done.My house would become a mess and we would live off fast food. And without air conditioner, I would be snapping at the family because being tepid makes me cranky. And I am not the only one. My buddy and I would all be snapping at each other. Without air conditioner, relationships in my family would deteriorate, however life would be miserable. Like I said, I couldn’t imagine willingly living without air conditioner.
