I might be sentient and aware if I am close coupled, like a babe in the womb perhaps or like the ideal of two become one flesh (marriage), but it is when I am forced to define you as you and me as me that I become capable of self reflection and decisions concerning what I myself want. It also seems that it is one stream of infantile development to build ever more sense of a separate self. It must be shocking at several turns. It doesn't always turn out so well either. I think some of us are angry about this, and some really fearful. It is well known some of us never grow up in this lifetime.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-1278513182992945992012-11-08T05:51:05.709-08:002012-11-08T05:51:05.709-08:00oh!! your analogy!!!
