13| Say there are no words. Say that we are conjoined
14| from birth, or better still, say we are myself.
15| ---But I still talk to myself, I [build my world][]
16| through language, so if we say there are [no words][]
17| this is not enough. Say we are instead some animal,
18| or better yet, [a plant][], or a flagellum motoring
19| aimlessly around. (Say that humans are the only things
20| that reason. Say that we're the [only things that worry][].)
21
22| Say that I am separate. To say there's everything else
23| and then there's me is wrong. Each thing is separate:
24| [there is no whole in the world][]. Say this is both good
25| and bad, or rather, say there is no good or bad but only
26| being, [more and more of it always added][], none taken out
27| though it can be forgotten. Say that forgetting
28| is a [function of our remembering][]. (Say that humans only
29| [worry about separation][]. Say that only humans feel it.)
