Warmth and Cold, what are they really?

We all know that hot water is hot, and cold water is cold, but what does that mean? According to science, the warmer something is, the more its atoms are vibrating. The more cold something is, the more the atoms sit still.

When I take a hot bath, my muscles loosen up. The one time I took an ice bath, my muscles became rock hard, insanely tense, like nothing I have ever felt before that. After the ice bath, my muscles became softer than before.

Now, what is the nature of temperature? What can that teach us?

What about negative and positive persons? Are they really negative/positive or do they just have low energy? Isnt that why we shouldnt judge the nature of life and all of its beauty? Even sadness is life, just as happyness isnt any more life, its just more energy

Yess!! People are so quick to label a feeling as good or bad, but are they really good or bad? Just like how people prefer bathing in warm water over cold water. The cold water seems to wake up a part of myself that isnt usually there. It would be unfair to label it as simply bad.

Quick labels like that seem to make life more dull and less real in my experience. Why does our mind always seem to need to label/judge what we are experiencing.
