I've decided there's something healthy about it - about the heat and sweating. I can't put my finger on its particulars, but I can feel it in my body and that's enough for now.
Maybe it's enough to know that the world was made to alternate between heat and frost.
The Aastru call this Geunigiggap, the void between fire and ice from which all things spring.
Humankind was born in Africa but spread to the far corners of the frosty Earth. We were built to both sweat and shiver. We forget this in a world that has become too climate controlled. It should be noted that some of the hottest and most humid places on Earth lack commercial air conditioning and the most frigid have no technological heat, yet humans thrive in both places.
Personally, I find the sweat to be cleansing and the chill a reminder of the strength and heat within. I worry that everyone else might be forgetting these things.

There are lessons to be learned from temperature.
I gave up both air conditioning and heat several years ago.
