I love:
Warm autumn evenings in the country
Reasons:

- fresher air
- more opportunity for filming the natural environment
Why someone might hate such things:
- they might get repertory illnesses form the dust coming from the dry fallen leaves
- they might have grown up in Chicago in the late 19th century – it is a historically documented fact that the toxic air around 19th century Chicago’s industrial district caused an eversion to the smell of fresh air from some of the residents.
- they might be averse to naturalism, instead they might be a striving industrialist
- they might not have a functional relationship with their family
I hate:
those rare moments when it is impossible to predict the correct answer to a decision that will affect the rest of your life
Why?
- it makes one feel helpless
- it can be dangerous if one dwells on it
- equal pros and cons can exist
- it fills up one’s mind to capacity
- the thought that the decision can be implicative to others
Why someone might like (or be fine with) what I hate:

- they might be fine with procrastinating about the decision
A character world based on the opposite of what I love (1) :
Colin grew up near the bacon processing plants 19th century Chicago in the Irish precinct. For this reason, he has become intolerant of fresh air (something that historically known to have happened to people). He became a wealthy steel industrialist contributing to the growing real-estate business. His favorite thing to do; that which fulfills him, is to survey his empire of smoke stacks and factories. Through a desire to appear higher class than his humble roots, he has alienated himself from his poor family.
