   So "people" are a something that *has* - i.e. possesses -   
   a soul or ego? In contrast to, say, *is* a soul or ego?   
      
   How did people come possess such?   
      
   Can people (which you're implying are entities/phenomena   
   that possess a soul or ego) dis-possess themselves of that   
   soul or ego?   
      
   And see how ridiculously circular this all is, given "I"   
   had to use the word 'them*selves*'... what's that "selves"   
   part of the word/sentence? How does it come to possess a   
   soul or ego?   
      
   This is a good example of the ridiculousness of coming   
   to delusionally believe that words not only represent an   
   alleged "real reality", but for most cave dwellers become   
   the "real reality", i.e. as though "real reality" conforms   
   to - yea, is - their representations that they no longer   
   see as mere representations....
