Who am I? I am not, yet still, I am. The ways in which I'm not are expressed by the strong relation I have to things in my life and beyond. They each take away from I am, until I am not. Yet I am more than the sum of the negation of the things around me, because as much as they negate me, I negate them. I am an infinitesimally small cog in an infinitesimally large machine, but my size is still non-zero. As I change the way I turn, so it changes the way things turn that are next to me. One small change can ripple outward and have large consequences. Something I choose to do today, may affect things very much further down the road for the machine in ways I can't understand. I try to tread carefully then, attempting to gain an understanding of parts of the machine I can, and how the ways in which I turn affect them for both good and ill so that I can act in ways that are good.
