    The activity is the only relevant part. If I like to ice fish, I’m only gonna be able to do that during the winter. Therefore I like the winter, because it enables me to do the activity that i like.

    Nothing about the winter enables you in particular to sit with cocoa and a heated blanket. Other than the fact that you like to sit under blankets with cocoa.

      Then I’d argue, you just like ice-fishing.

      How does that lead to liking winter? That’s just the time of year.

      The answer, is the same way people who like winter for any other reason.

      Nothing about the winter enables you in particular to sit with cocoa and a heated blanket. Other than the fact that you like to sit under blankets with cocoa.

      Ask around. The vast majority of people will simply say “it’s not the same”.

      Because it isn’t. It’s not winter.

        You can’t do it at another time of year. Now i think you’re the one being dense.

          Why does that lead to liking winter?

          I hate insects.

          They only show up in summer.

          Does that make me a liar if I claim to like summer?

          You can think whatever you like, it doesn’t change the fact you’re detecting dishonesty where none is present.

          You’re just wrong.

          Liking a time of year does not require engaging in “exclusive” activities to “prove” it.

          End of discussion.

      Bottom line: your lack of comprehension does not make other people hypocritical.

      It just makes you dense.
