Know not who I am
Know not who You are
Daily ‘I’ come to ‘You’
Pleading Your grace
Seeking Your defense
I can literally understand
When I know mySelf
When You reveal YourSelf
I won’t be there to see You
As it is the same with
A salt doll searching
Sanctuary in Ocean!

One vexing question addressed by the Philosophy of Mind is the nature of personal identity and whether it even exists. Religious theists typically argue that it does exist and is carried by the soul. Some religions, like Buddhism, teach that the personal 'I' doesn't truly exist and is only an illusion. Materialist conceptions of the mind generally recognize that it changes over time due to changing experiences and circumstances, suggesting that personal identity itself must change. That, however, raises ethical questions about how we can and should treat someone now based upon past behavior. your poems are unique in concept...well done
