I think of you in relative terms to myself because I am familiar with who I am. I draw parallels, I try to understand you in the context of the way I am. I trust my mind over my intuition, although my emotions almost always cloud my rationality and lead me astray. I realise this is rather unfair to you, any and all of you, but isn't it natural? we all need a base to build hypotheses from, somewhere to start, a controlled variable, a set of basic laws, initial understandings and the like. it's just that mine are myself.
