We may not always realise, but our surroundings are constantly trying to talk to us. They are telling us what they think, how they feel.
One place might say:
I care more about cars than about you; I care a lot about advertising, so I am going to make you look at a huge sign every single day of your life, even if you never want to buy the product it is selling. I am often in a bad mood. Your little sorrows and pains don’t matter to me. Life is tough and I don’t care. I don’t know who you are and I don’t ever want to know.

Whereas the other might have something else on its mind:
I am very gentle, playful and sweet. I care about you. That’s why I want you to have a lovely balcony where you can sit and have a really interesting conversation. I want you to be able to stroll down the street without having to worry that a car is going to bump into you. I have got soft sides. I believe in friendship. I like it that anyone can wave to you from their window. I think calm is important. That’s why I wear soothing colours: I don’t want you to feel agitated. I hope you’ll be happy here.

Our surroundings matter and they would matter a lot more if we started listening to them more often.
