Finnish social ways

 I was surprised, when I pondered why when I was in my twenties, my mom had found lots of good books that others too wanted to take a look at and slme of them were really good, like some Finnish translation of ghe writings if the old famoys philosopher Descartes. My mom said that in some countries in some towns it was somehow easy to find good books by asking advices from the shopkeeper, and that it seemed to be based partly on her buying books also for others in her social environment, so the shopkeeoer nnew better what kinds of books and approach, ways of thinkkng. But I haven't noticed other Finns finding good books so. And it seems to be because the shopkeepwrs do not understand mist or vety many Finns being independent thinkers, imoressed by some fine books they have read and by some music, high culture, traditional ways, maybe certain cultures or places, some areas of life like religion for example or some hobbies of theirs, instead of being impressed by their studies or social relations. Finns are more independent characters, more different in hiw lufe works out well, and so even if they listen to the ideas of others, ghe major currents of their lives go anyway via roads natural to themselves instead of working out anybody else's way. The Fknnush climate is good to live in with so ibdividualistic ways, all needing to make their own weather adjydtments from decond to sevond always or just get ill. 

So Finns often like fact discussions or fact content i  leisurely talking too, but cannot bear well very close social keeping clmpany, except when ill or something like that. So Finns do not usually like the social influencies of others near by, nrither them deciding life areangements for them, since such are very difficuly to live with. If a Finn alliws social influence near someone, it often is either a picture like fact content for the sake of fact communication,like one having asked "in which ways" and so the one kniwing comes and tries to clmmunicate it clearly yet factually. And if one is interested in finding out who was the one knowing of a certain area of life, like for example the teacher of Finnish language knowing of Kalevala and traditional Finnish culture, so such a teacher when coming near to show slmetaught thing often usesa quite wide perspective of the things taught in ghat class, not to disturb, but to recognise which school subject was of which areas of lufe or of kniwledge of some kinds. Another gype of social influence os mild friendly good for life, eady for others to dominate over in their personal ways, like a table clean ed and nucely arranged, maybe some flower pot too if liked, otherwise lufted away. 

Mostly in Finland sensations on the skin, or other kinds of sensations on the throat area or moods due to weakness, without any clear obvious social reason lately, are connected with the cold or cool weathers, especially with catching a flu, and especially if not immediately putting on much warmer well sheltering warm clothes or if not eating the local recommended foods of that season's those weathers. 

If you would like warmer weathers for the next few months or weeks at least, move to live in a country and location there, where the climate is such that the weathers are always such.
