Ahh ok. Well my idea of self is my name, what I do for work, you know the egoic self. I think this is an illusion. I think I'm slowly coming around. I still need more examples though. Sorry if my inferior intelligence frustrates you guys.

Yah totally. I was talking with my girlfriend about this and I was bewildered by the fact that I don't know her and she doesn't know me. One set of information coming in on my end that informs my sense of her and another set of information that informs her sense of herself. Likely not very similar in the end run.

It's a very strange world to be in.

sure is...

not similar but there would be truth in both fictions i think...

also...

relationships seem based as much on unsaid things as said... maybe even more so...

actually the world seems run on unsaid things. silent agreement, unspoken understanding and faith. how vulgar it is when someone asks for the joke to be explained, the joy of the joke is in the shared unsaid.


a written contract is clear and when it is fulfilled you go your separate ways.

love is a contract unsaid, its rules are vague, they can be bent and changed, the parties involved may view it very differently, it needs trust and faith and quiet concessions on both sides, and maybe for these reasons and more it is one of the most difficult to enter and difficult to break...
