Who Do People Think They Are??

 Who are you, who who?  - The Who

Hoohoo, hooted the owl.   I AM, said God.   I am whatever you say I am - Eminem.  No-self - Buddha (I am Awake).  I am I am Superman, and I can do anything -    .   I am Groot.   I am the Walrus, kookookachoo.   I am who I am, what I shall prove to be.   I'm me!   I and I are me, myself, and eye.  

I am my name.  I am my body.   I am what I am, what I was, what I will be.   I am my life.   The blood is the life.   I am what I do.   I am what I eat.  I am what I read, watch, listen to, identify with, write, say, think.   Don't believe everything you think.  I am a mystery, even to myself.  I am the roles I play.  I am nothing.  I am not here.  I do not exist.   There is no me. 

I am God.  I am an Angel.  I am a Saint.   I am a good guy.   I am a soldier.  I am a cop.  I am an agent (of?).   I am a father.  I am a creator.   I am an actor.   I am a player.   All the world's a stage.  I am not myself, today.   I am a noun, a verb, a lot of adjectives.   I am everyone, everything, the universe.   I am nowhere, no place, nonexistent, and everywhere, permeating, always, eternal, permanent.    I am impermanent, transitory, fleeting, ephemeral, here and gone, a bubble, like a candle, like cut flowers, already dead, on my way to the trash, headed for the grave.   I am an object.   I am a person.  I am an animal.  I am a human being.   I can be non-human.   I am always and everywhere, and everything and nothing.   I both exist and don't.   I am real and virtual.  I am truth and fiction.

It's all relative, it's all a matter of perspective, and merrily merrily merrily merrily it's all a dream.   Who's dream are you in?   What dream to you enter when you Wake Up?

Non-human?  I am sub-human, superhuman, or just nonhuman, like an animal, a thing, or a demon, a vampire, a zombie, or something in a movie.   God, The Devil, An Angel, The Beast, The Antichrist, something religious, something spiritual.   Something exceedingly virtuous, or corrupt depraved and evil.   Everyone can be anything.   Everybody is Everyone!   All in all is all we are.   It's all good.   

Touching other people's things?   Who do people think they are?  Movers, postal carriers, thieves and criminals, that's who.   Roommates and family, people with permission to do so.   Rude folks who disrespect boundaries.   Your body is your own thing.  You own yourself.   Nobody has a right to touch you or hurt you or force themselves into you, and you have sovereignty over your mind and body.   That includes telepaths.    Respect minds, respect boundaries, respect people's wishes.   

People are People, so why should it be, you and I should get along so awfully?   Well, potentially a zillion reasons, but crime is a big one, and meanness and bullying, another.    Disrespect and rudeness and cruelty and having other values are the main ones.   -isms, like racism or classism or sexism, or feeling you're better than someone, without even ever having met them.   Rapists and murderers have done awful, heinous, evil and wicked things.   Thou shalt not kill.   Thou shalt not litter.

People are their identities, and all the myriad descriptors that they (and others) use for them.   People change.   People are what they are.   I mean, it is what it is, as they say.   But people improve, grow, develop.   Sometimes people deteriorate, worsen, go backwards.    Maybe "better" and "worse" is subjective.   Everybody deserves respect, no matter what.    There are reasons for everything.   God is love, in any case.

People are names, bodies, histories, proclivities, activities, food, roles, what they think about, and what they see, hear, smell, taste, touch.   People are sane, delusional, sexual, asexual, hetero, gay, bi, nonbinary, male, female, happy, miserable, angry (sad mad glad), healthy, sick, alive, dead, dying, bored, engaged, content, unfulfilled, ambitious, greedy, curious, apathetic, dumb, intelligent, rich, poor, everything, nothing, all of the above!   People are a product of their times and places.   Culture, parents, schools, all that good stuff.  People are largely like the people they associate with.   Like company culture.   Or church values.   Or the people they look up to, whether priests or prisoners.  People are what other people tell them to be or reward them for or say they're good at.   People are the roles they choose for themselves, often after lifetimes of living the roles they've had chosen for them, instead.
