In-der-Blog-sein

Ramlings of a wannabe sage, the blog, gets moody:
The philosopher Heidegger theorized that the primary way that we experience the world isn't through our vision, or our hearing, or any other sense perception. We experience the world around us first and foremost through our mood. That makes sense to me; think about. When you're bored, what is it that bores you? The things you do are boring. The people you're around you are boring. Everything in your life at that point is boring.
I put it in a slightly different order. We experience the world by giving things meaning, their being, whether things reach us ocularly or aurally, and our moods tint, or taint, that meaning.
