This is such a beautiful planet! I grew up in the country side, lots of trees, lots of grass, wild animals, lots of mosquitos, bees, spiders. I drank a lot of dirty water, I came home with wounded knees more often than not. And here I am. Still alive and happy. I also chose a career that allowed me, for a while, to be in permanent contact with nature. If I could, I would do it all over again, double.

Besides being hot and humid, there are all kinds of animals and insects that are trying to kill you, sting you and otherwise hurt you. When I was a kid I ran outside all day long and never was bit by anything. No one mowed or sprayed anything, there were just no evil animals. The worst thing we had were mosquitoes. As far as no AC, I grew up without one but my house was built out of 2 feet thick limestone and retained temperature pretty well. Houses here are built from cardboard and construction paper, shut the AC off and you have 30 min before everything starts melting inside. I noticed that the nature here is pretty unfriendly.
