can never be objective!
Our labelling leads not only to issues like anger and attachment, but also to the more basic
issue that we think we are somehow separate from the outside world. But are we separate
from the outside world?
When we see something – for example a table – it appears to be separate from the rest of the
world, just standing there by itself, but is that correct? How could the table stand there without
the ground supporting it? How could the table exist without a carpenter making it from pieces
of wood? The pieces of wood come from a tree, which comes from a seed, water, soil, air,
the sun and its nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms, etc. Every object needs causes and conditions
to exist, just like we need our parents, food, air, clothes and many more things to exist. In this
way, it becomes impossible to maintain that 'I' am separate from the outside world, however much
it feels that way.
