- gowld 5y agoThey are you; they are a part of you, but they are not all of you. They are as much you as your foot or your eye is you. You are not an atomic entity.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoPerhaps I should have written “to not identify with them” just like you rarely identify your core self as your foot.
- AutumnCurtain 5y agoIf not you, what do you think they are?
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoYou do not need to identify with them. They come and go like the wind. They are no more “you” than your hair on the barber shop floor.
- AutumnCurtain 5y agoI see now from your other answer what you meant, I thought you had meant not you in some sense of being externally created or imposed.
