You create and maintain your social environment (unless of course you are forced to a specific social environment when you are found guilty breaking a law). But as much you influence your surrounding, the environment influences you. Some of your strands are pushed wide away from each other, some are hammered together.You are a bunch of your character strands (the vertical lines) bound by pieces of your social network (the rectangles) you have picked up on your life journey.

Life is black.Life is dark. Life is confusing. That's true when you are absolutely alone. People define your life. People give your life proportions, directions and colors(the rectangles). Some of people are nice, some are more bleak. But interactions with this huge, diverse crowd are the essence of everyone's life.
