Why It's Better to Be Cold Than Hot - Austen Frattura

 


        This is completely an opinion, but I believe it to be true. I do not like being too warm. It's uncomfortable. You may feel uncomfortable because your clothes seem to stick to you, it can be extremely irritating. That is why I like to be a little cold because I prefer not to sweat unless I am doing physical activity. I'm not sure who would like to just sit around and sweat. It makes me feel unclean and it is just unnecessary. If someone is warm, there are not many ways to get cold, especially in the summer. You could go find an AC vent and stand near it. That's about it besides going swimming, but that is a whole process. If you are cold, you can just move around a little, and then you are warm. It's very controllable, which is what I like. 

        I don't mean the type of cold where your hands go numb. That is even more uncomfortable. I like the cold similar to a house with the AC on in summer. Or any house in Florida year-round. It's a quick cool-off and makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. I'm not sure if you can cool off or feel relaxed when you are too hot. Just feels strange. 

        In the contrast, extreme heat is better than extreme cold. There are many activities you can do in extreme heat. In extreme cold, you can only go inside and stay warm. Maybe play in the snow if there is any. In extreme heat, you can go swimming and have a good time. Neither is desirable, but heat is better in this situation. 




        In conclusion, cold is better in moderate situations. While heat is better in extreme situations. Comfortability is dependent on the person and isn't constant. This is what I find comfortable and you may have a difference of opinion. Enjoy whatever makes you comfortable, whether that is warmth or cold. Heat and cold are polar opposites that contrast. There are benefits of both, as well as negatives. Heat vs cold is a preference thing, this is my view on it.

  1. I would have to agree. Besides doing physical activity, being hot is just not comfortable, especially when sleeping.

  2. Cold is always better, heat is way too uncomfortable.

  3. I do think it's easier to add another layer of clothes than to cool down when hot. I once had a student who carried a mini fan with him in to class each day : )
