After reading the book The Comfort Crisis by I am questioning how comfortable I have constructed my life, though it is not as bad as the comfort as many city dwellers live on a daily basis.

The most prominent is the complaining of basic inconveniences like the weather.

“It is too cold/hot/windy/wet”

This is probably one of the easiest to plan for especially if it is only a couple of hours and one isn’t changing the location too drastically.

Another example is that while shooting a water reflection scene, it was realized that one could not do it efficiently from the shore, since the camera would always be in the shot. Thus, I suggested that one of us could go into the water and do it.

The immediate feedback is that one didn’t bring extra clothes or a towel.

I am just imaging how complex do people imagine the task?

I just took off my shoes and socks, rolled up my pants, and got in.

It wasn’t too bad. The water temperature was similar to the air temperature, around 12°C.

Another aspect is seeing a cherry tree in the wild.

One can understand not knowing the typical rind pattern or the leaf shape, but not being able to identify the fruit on the tree is mind boggling. It should be mentioned that many of them are not fully ripe and the shades range from green/white to red, there are some that are deep cherry red moving more towards the brown spectrum.

Also understand the hesitancy of trying them, which I would haven’t done also in their shoes if one is not familiar with the vegetation.

In general, only eating a small dose of an unknown plant usually doesn’t have an adverse effect.
