Distinctions are human inventions. I can divide the world into two distinct hemispheres, creating to half-worlds. These distinctions have the power to define reality for us. Eskimos distinguish hundreds of types of ice and snow, but Texans only distinguish snow as one thing. Those distinctions give Eskimos more ways of surviving in their environment. A Texan would only see snow and would only have limited choices as to how to interact with snow.
