   Or put another way, we can't know for sure, what we are not.   
      
   All we can do is speculate on the other, projecting on the   
   other, our ignorance. Unless they say, we can't ever know.   
   And even then, we only have their words or their deeds for   
   who they claim to be.   
      
   We see as we are, the world a mirror for our control. The   
   world like the viewer, is open yet insincere, as shallow   
   as we are perplexing. Clingy for the certainty of others,   
   we crave what they have, a belief.   
      
   We can only really know ourselves, and even then we are a   
   mystery.
