Interesting concept Vince. We are more than we in the sense that we are also part of others with whom we interact. Just as others are part of us. To more less of some degree we have some responsibilities to those others who help make up part of us.

Are you then even in this equation to begin again? Interesting, Vince. Thanks for this.

Very thought provoking. Love it!

If one tends to be manipulated by flattery, the mark is made, and the fake graciousness ensues. In this bleak view of a relationship, the hope is that both parasite and host have mutual benefits from the pairing. But pie and ice-cream everyday can make one want to puke, being fed such syrupy delights. Ugh!!
