On perceiving the cold in Norway now; Being tough in the weather from 19 November 2024!
There was -5 degrees Celsius in Froland in Agder in the night that we had to this date. So, we are getting a cold now, and maybe there will be more snow, since we have snow and not snow in Norway just now, and we are here to perceive what the nature really is when we are here.
We have had more than -50 degrees Celsius in our history in Norway, and that is in Karasjok. So, there has been even more colder than we perceive as the coldest area with what we are having in Norway now, when we are here. We are having snow when it is cold, and we can be out there making things in the snow, and making trails in the snow where we have snow, and the snow is coming when it is 0 degrees Celsius or colder in the air, and we can do things with the snow, and these things are just using creativity attempts of different things when we are here.
And it is tearing in the nose when it is cold, so being in the coldest places are not necessary worse than wet weather and temperature around 0 degrees Celsius, and that is even the worse situation for analyzing and perceiving that what is happened.
Immanuel Kant had a philosophy of Das ding an sich, that is the thing in itself, and hence we shall perceive the reality both with and without things, and that is how the life should be according to the philosophers.
Now, being at the military camp Skjold within the county called for the Inner Circles of Troms in the northern part of Norway, can be a cold affair, and there has been temperatures between -30 degrees Celsius and -40 degrees Celsius there.
So, there is a cold affair in Norway now, and maybe we are getting more snow, maybe we are not getting anything more at all. But we know, that we should have enough clothes on us, and wearing what is coming when we are here, and we should be open on telling ourselves and other people that we should be properly wearing when having low temperatures, and that we should try to avoid getting all these cold, and not being coughing and wheezing over a long period of time, and we should be healthy and want to be that. And we must try to avoid freezing when it is cold. And in Skjold in the Inner Troms, we had a slogan when finishing the period of being in the military; The veterans are coming home, leaving hell zone! So, we should be aware of where we have been, and what this is doing with us.
So, when getting these cold days, things are really put into perspectives, and people are telling each other about what to do and not to do, while we are here where we are when being here, and we should be ourselves and circled by our families and friends when being here, and we are open for just being ourselves just as we are, and trying to avoid getting cold, and avoid always being confronted with getting more illness when we are here.
We must try to avoid becoming icicles when it is so cold, and every day is a day where we should show our empathy and our ways of being ourselves and other persons when we are here. And the life is about understanding oneself and other persons while we are here.
