dedalus Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Who is the I behind I, who is the me behind me? I don’t think it really matters, not personally, and not for you either, if you don’t mind my saying so. We are sitting together on this train, and you seem to want a conversation, first with comments about the weather, and then a transition to cricket scores in which I have no interest. Let us consider instead the Ego, which all of us seem to possess, and this acts as a form of definition in our contact with social life in general, and in the emotionally particular. This possibly leads to the conclusion that actions and beliefs … I beg your pardon, I see you wish to return to your newspaper, in which all of the things I mention make nonsense of the narrative.
