I always though this was a really good question.
When we say "I am" what do we mean by "I"?
Most people think in terms of "I [i]am[/i] a person, I [i]have[/i] a body, I [i]have[/i] a brain. . . "
As opposed to "I am a person, I am a body, I am a brain. . . "
So if the "I" in "I am" does not include the physical parts we [i]have[/i] which make up our physical being, then what are we referring to when we say "I"?
It's a semantic, sure, but it's an interesting tell on how we instinctively view ourselves as being something other than merely physical.
Do we think of ourselves as a consciousness that inhabits a body? Do we think of ourselves as an outsider to our physical being that merely controls it's actions in the world?
