However, you must be aware that the -you- you see is not that only -you- that exists. There is the -you- your mother see's, th - you- your friend see's and every other -you- defined by the subjective opinion formed in every single person's head that exists.
Ultimately. "I" will always be self-defined... but "you" or person is a multiplicity of entities that exist autonomously from eachother in the minds of others.
