Thanks Alex for your input and scientific angle on the matter. I hadn’t even been thinking of heat as a catalyst (or whatever the proper scientific term is). To elaborate, I think the “Push and Pull” concept is just a simplified description of the various pressures. Heat, the Push, is a hand pressed gently but firmly against my neck (or any bared area), while cold, the Pull, is just short of a sucking sensation away from that same vulnerable area. It is a constant unveiling, a drifting from lack of gravity. Even a cool breeze or a cold wind against my skin, though a pressure by definition, feels like a violent pull, if that makes any sense.

Even though it’s not my personal viewpoint, I can totally understand the delight you take in seeking warmth on a cold day. I feel some of that when I come in from the cold into our warm apartment, it’s that thing where you can’t appreciate something without first being withheld it, right? Or maybe that’s just how I prefer to interpret your opinion, because I can’t bear to think that someone would actually enjoy the cold! (Just kidding). I’m sure some of the difference in our opinion has to do with the different climates in which we were raised. Thanks for your thoughts!

Thanks Rayme for reading also! You know what I’m saying, you love the scarves too! Want to take a vacation to somewhere hot? Like, today?

It’s hard for me to fully conceptualize it though as specifically “push” and “pull”, if you still feel like it, you might want to elaborate on those specific terms for this, but I think I do get the main idea of it.

Even I who always defend and enjoy cold, totally agree, but maybe I precisely like that cold makes you seek, embrace and enjoy heat which you could otherwise take for granted, while the excess of heat only makes you want to alleviate some of that heat instead of actually seeking cold itself… after all, cold is supposed to be the absence of heat and not the other way around.
