Barefoot Interview #25: USA's James #2
There are many different people from all over the world who like going barefoot. Some people like doing it as a hobby. On the other hand, other people who go barefoot as a tradition or as a part of their culture. Apparently, there are many who like going barefoot are unable to share their stories. So, this will be a long interviewing series and talking to people who are from all over and let them speak about their barefooting. So, welcome returning barefoot interviewee, James from Wisconson, USA. This is a continued list of what his reasons and health benefits to go barefoot (while in college).
What are some great tips/health benefits to be barefoot while in college?
+ Keeps you cooler in warm months -- depending on your college and specific building, air conditioning can be iffy at times
+ Lets you splash through fountains, reflection pools, puddles, mud, etc
+ Lets you curl up under a tree or on the lawn to study without having to take off shoes, then put them back on
+ Increased creativity (this is well-documented by many studies) as well as freedom of thought
+ Increased concentration due to lower levels of discomfort (also well-documented, mostly in workplaces)
+ For some, it's a spiritual expression as well, which if it's a state-operated university, it -can't- prohibit or interfere with
+ Barefoot people tend to be kinder and more polite (it's hard to be rude or cruel while barefoot; shoes separate us from the world, and from other people, making it easier to be callous toward them)
+ Barefooters, from my experience, tend to be more environmentally conscious (we would never throw beer bottles onto the sidewalk, and most of us would never litter or fail to clean up after our pets)
+ Barefooters learn tolerance through overcoming intolerance and adversity in order to simply abide by our choice
Conclusion.
I do thank James again for taking the time and answering these questions and as well as supporting that going barefoot is actually a good and healthy thing. Tune in next time when someone else in another country talks about their likes on barefooting. Remember, speak your mind and comment down below.
