Five Reasons Why I Don’t Want to Live In a Basement!
I wrote five downfalls of living in a basement. These reasons are why I want to spend more time above ground rather than below it.
- The number one reason has to be because darkness pervades basements. Even if the basement has windows, light forbears to shine. I completely agree with Solomon when he says in Ecclesiastes 11:7 ” Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun.” Yet, underground there is no sun and light (other than artificial).
- Another reason why I would prefer not to take my abode in a basement is because moisture tends to stay in the air quite thickly. If you rinse a washrag, it won’t dry for at least five days. Very inconvenient.
- With moisture often comes odor, so the smell is often a problem in a basement.
- It’s very secluded. When you are in the basement, you can’t really see trees or birds or wild life or even plain human life.
- Creepie crawlies are more prone to live in dark spaces, such as a basement. And who likes creepie crawlies?
