Guest guest Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Hi, About a week late and off topic, I know, but... >Doing a demo helps you to lose the sense of self What is so special about >Self when lives are being lost ? Self only lasts for 70 odd years ? A sense of self is, essentially, self consciousness, or self awareness (a sense a that you are a self). So without it, you would have no perspective from which to judge whether your actions are right or wrong, and would not be able to make moral decisions such as going to a demo or becoming a vegan.

Doing a demo helps you to lose the sense of self What is so special about Self when lives are being lost ? Self only lasts for 70 odd years ?

(totally non-religious stuff)... i dunno ... i thought those people who live in the moment .... or do fast sports... in rock climbing, car racing, archery... one can lose one's sense of self ... by being in the Here and Now... John Davis [mcxg46] But I do think it has an existence. I think I'd argue that there is no way we can think, or act, or think about acting, without utilising this sense of self. How can we think without thinking that we think? How can I write this without thinking about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
