I would say it is debatable that everyone consciously chooses and designs themselves actively in 3D, however as you say, we have a choice in how we choose to live, that is the essential crux that I am always trying to get at as well.
On the one hand it is saying "look, this is nature as it is" and on the other saying "but what of it?"
Rather like artists these observations we make in the world serve as the materials to be rearranged in to a new, more balanced design.
I agree that things can and should be shaped and changed and observing the manners in which it is imbalanced is critical to this process.
However, I think that you can only move forward from where you are and taking in your surroundings isn't a bad idea, even if you intend to journey out of them.
That being said, is it not ironic that through discussion we have many perspectives crossing and exchanging, yet we are all in the same overall environment? Consciousness is a weird thing.
