Camping with family

I spent the weekend camping with my family.  Throughout, I came to the realization that mankind has spent the last few thousand years trying to improve their living conditions precisely so that we would not have to sleep out in the elements, cook food over an open fire and have sanitary personal conditions. And so, why would we subject ourselves to reverting back to living in that environment?  Needless to say, I do not enjoy camping that much.  Other than spending time with the family and telling scary campfire stories to my nieces and nephews, I would have preferred to stay and enjoy the comforts of home.
