Senses

---

What is the most important sense in a person. Sight? Hearing? Touch?

While those would cause life to be a tremendous pain to live in if they are gone but I feel that there's a far more important sensory that we have. The sense of self.

The sense that the body we inhibit is ours and the sense that we are us and no one else. What good would any other feeling be if they aren't ours. What good is viewing a place if the view is not our own. A picture of a scenery will never be as good as the real thing and I just wonder what would happen if we lose this sense of self and live life as though we aren't us. What would that even feel like. Everything that make us inherently us will become foreign and possibly of no meaning anymore. Every emotion we feel will be like reading the words "sad" "happy" "scared". Then... Then would we still find purpose?

Maybe we'd find it but it wont be ours, there is no self after all. If we can continue to live life without ourselves, would that then be the most selfless act one can accomplish. We do things not for what we feel or what we want to be seen as but merely because, we do.

However, would we live like zombies? Going through the motion seeking the life in which we can never have, trying to pry it out of other's hands in order to feel some semblance of wholeness. Copying their dreams, going through the motion and imitating their actions to possibly fill some hole inside but inside of what exactly.

I think this is why people always say "be yourself". For if you aren't then what is the point of doing anything you are doing...
