Surroundings
Our experience is determined for the most part by temporality and worldview. My experience in one time and location is different than whatever I experience in even a slightly different time and place. My worldview also shapes my experience. I can imagine that if experience=worldview/temporality, then someone who grows up poor and from the City experiences something as mundane as snow falling quite differently from someone who grows up wealthy and from the exurbs. How different is it, even for me, to experience the dusting of snow - already quite dirty - in the City, vs out where I am in beautiful, rustic Hudson, Ohio.
