But here on Maui, my neighbors are just digging the breeze, and so are we. It's hot but who cares? Comfort is perception and the majority rules. When in Maui we do as the Hawaiians do.
We were shopping the other day when Marianne led me into this store that had air conditioning. It hit us like a cold slap in the face when we walked through the door. She looked at me and shook her head. "It's chilly in here," she said, and then spent less time shopping in that store than in any of the other stores where there was just a gentle breeze and open walls. Isn't it funny what we get used to?
We dress for the weather outside, regardless of the weather inside, because that's what we expect of each other. If we expect air conditioning, then we get upset when it's not there for us. If we expect thermostats then, by gosh, we'd better have thermostats.
But if the majority of the people don't expect these things then we somehow wind up just as happy. Comfort is perception.
Majority rules.
