So, if you call me Thich Nhat Hanh, I will say, “Yes, that is me.” And if you call me the young girl, I will say, “Yes, that is me.” If you call me the pirate, I will also say, “Yes, that is me.” These are all my true names. If you call me an impoverished child in a war zone with no future, I will say, “Yes, that is me.” And if you call me the arms merchant selling weapons to support that war, I will say, “Yes, that is me.” All of these people are us. We inter-are with everyone.
