It is futile for an artist to try to create an environment because you have an environment around you all the time. Any living organism has an environment.

Every time you work, you have to do it all over again, to rid yourself of this dross. I suppose for a person who is not an artist or not attempting art, it is not dross, because it is the common exchange of everyday life.

A place is an area within an environment that has been altered in such a way to make the general environment more conspicuous.

In a broad systems sense, an organism's environment is indistinguishable from the organism itself.

If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny.

When a system is in turbulence, the turbulence is not just out there in the environment, but is a part of the organization or organism that you are looking at.
