Thread Name: BS: How to be a better person
Subject: RE: BS: How to be a better person
"I think this would be a better thread if people answered about themselves, not telling other people what to do."
Jeri
'I' is an unwelcome attention-seeking self-promotion, and doesn't do anything but annoy people who are trying to have a conversation.
more Jeri (paraphrased)

We is us and is inclusive. Jeri after a lifetime of stifling yourself you might be about to explode but you raise an interesting question. Are we an I or are we a we??   As an only child I had to figure things out by myself. I did not not find it odd to have silent conversations with myself. Nor does my wife who has 3 siblings, but she and one son do it out loud.

I use we when I want to express universality. I use I when I want to express individual action. If you get my drift we are both I and we and separate like a particle and a wave.
Duality is one of those never ending subjects...

Or maybe I just piss you off. I didn't intend to.
