@SiddhiGal My I is not fear at all. I can be fearful, but as often I am moved by other emotions, not least of which is desire.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@SiddhiGal A theory of self based on fear strikes me as rather too morbid; it suggests that to be is to be pathological & I say no to that.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@SiddhiGal No this is vastly too pessimistic and morbid. Self serves a positive purpose. We cannot function unless we develop it. -
@SiddhiGal Of course we might continue to develop, but one cannot transcend what one does not have.
