I'll play along with the metaphor while waiting for TD and tav.
Where we live isn't always a choice that we have direct control over. Neither are we usually fully informed of the area we live in before we live there. I dind't know I lived with 3 blocks of 3-4 registered pedophiles until after I moved here. I could have looked it up (and will in the future) but it wasn't my focus when moving. You might have a primitive populous that doesn't know what a volcano is and have no recorded histroy of an explosion. They are living on ashes of the last civilization that was blind or unlucky, without even knowing it. A man chooses where his intent and focus lead him to. To claim a man chooses the entirety of his own subjective world is a little naive, IMO. Do you choose whether your water comes from the waste recycling plant or a mountain spring? Are you sure 200 years ago your home wasn't someone's graveyard? 1 million it wasn't a tar pit?

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
