Yes, it is true that you wouldn’t be you without the relationships you’re in or the community to which you belong. But you also wouldn’t be you if it weren’t for all the physical objects in the world that aren’t you. We spend our lives failing to realise this obvious truth, and thus anxiously seeking to fortify our boundaries, to build our egos and assert our superiority over others, as if we could separate ourselves from them, without realising that interdependence makes us what we are.
