People are fooled all the time by words.

 

The words " you " and " me " are no more " personal " than the words " sky " or " tree " ,

aside from whatever meanings are attached by the reader.

 

A math textbook does not say " I need you to understand, I'm desperate for you to

understand the theory of quadratic equations " .

 

It says " the theory of quadratic equations is as follows: " ... it is impersonal.

 

As all words actually are. There are no actual " you's " or " me's " . The only use

for words is in conveying information, like the math textbook.

 

But people are fooled... people " co-dream " , make each other up, because they

want to be fooled.

 

Two lovers cooing at each other is no different than two birds chirping, and no

different than the math textbook.
