by attending to someone else performing an action, and even by thinking about them doing so – even, in fact, by thinking about certain sorts of people at all – we become objectively, measurably, more like them, in how we behave, think and feel. Through the direction and nature of our attention, we prove ourselves to be partners in creation, both of the world and of ourselves.
We are the sum of the people we send the most time with (thinking about included). So, those whom we read, watch listen etc. inform who we (our self as process) are becoming.
