We believe in a personal, unique, and separate identity;
but if we dare to examine it, we find that this identity
depends entirely on an endless collection of things to
prop it up...without our familiar props, we are faced with
just ourselves, a person we do not know...Isn't that why we
have tried to fill every moment of time with noise and
activity, however boring or trivial, to ensure that we
are never left in silence with this stranger on our own?
