IVAN: There is only one "us", one self
ME: That is not true at all. There are myriads spinning and blossoming, and the shine and the sparkles of others in the dark is what gives us hope
IVAN: So it appears, But its all the same "self"
ME: That would be sad, because then all the precious gift of love would be only selfish self-love after all.
IVAN: You right
ME: We are many. We long to be one only. That is what divides and unites. It is the tragedy and the comedy of life
IVAN: The whole thing is, we wanted to taste steak.
ME: Exactly! With pepper sauce.
IVAN: Yep! Even better.
ME: God wanted to be not-alone, you see.
IVAN: That's true, and so he made us lonely.
