Come on, it only takes a sec. What do you see?
Let me guess.
If you’re anything like me before, you expect to see a reflection of you. But what you actually see is what you is.
You is a word. In this case that word is you.
Let me guess again.
You never thought of you as a word before, didn’t you?
Well, you is no exception to the fact that everything you know is a word.
What’s unique about a word such as you is that it can be denied only by confirming. Put differently, you cannot use the word (you) without using it.
Expecting you to be anything different (than a word) presupposes that words have the organs required. But words don’t have any organs. The only ones with the organs required are you and me — the word-users.
Call it a dream, it doesn’t change anything.
In the meantime, think of you as a word.
You cannot lose, on which I give you my word.
