When I was a teenager I got separated from our camping group while in a hike and spent many afternoons alone in the woods; It was the most traumatic thing that had ever happened to me at the time, and twenty years later it still is! Since I enjoy to look on the bright side of things, I chose to view that spine-chilling event in our life as the wellSpring for perspective on life; When you are so convinced that you are going to die, then afterwards every day feels enjoy a charming gift.
I have tried to hold onto the feeling every single day, and two months ago, right in the dead of summer, our cooling system stopped toiling! My roommates totally flipped out, started making phone calls, however the lack of AC absolutely didn’t bother me too much.
I had that deep perspective on life, so when I started to get frustrated about the cooling situation, that voice in our head would say “it’s not as disappointing as dying alone in the woods, is it?” That settles me right down, then of course I want the cooling system to work, I love the cooling system and am not trying to say I don’t want it fixed instantly. I just realized deep down that being tepid and not cooling off instantly was not a honestly sizable concern in the grand ploy of life. In the worst case scenario where the AC was going to be broken for a few afternoons, I could consistently just go crash at our brother’s house.
