And often the quantities are unknown, even to the person themselves.<br />Without getting too philosophical or long-and-drawn-out, that essential sameness is more readily accessible in some more than others, while at the same time, there are (ever-shifting, but nevertheless) concrete limits as to the extent of that sameness.Mercutiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13270898097330918764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380605413166707395.post-74942043440203517362011-02-06T13:28:15.523-08:002011-02-06T13:28:15.523-08:00Hi Hellena,

And always realise we're more similar that originally thought by both parties. I still remember the reaction when I told Currawong that we're the same as everyone else....he was horrified when I told him he too could be like George Bush. What's really trippy is when you start seeing similarities between you and other humans, as well as animals and plants and other random objects. !Helena Posthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442132139130785495noreply@blogger.com
