ABSTRACT
EVENTS THAT HAVE THEIR SOURCE in the environment and that affect p in some way have been referred to throughout the book, and their general characteristics were examined in Chapter 6. These environmental effects make up the "lot of p." That environmental changes are positive or negative for the other person can also affect p. It is in this sense that the lot of 0 becomes a lot of p. However, there may be a real difference between the subjective state of 0 and what are generally considered the affective connotations of his lot. For instance, 0 may be very happy in spite of the fact that a misfortune has befallen him.
