If I take the "I" out from "I like JF's columns" then its: "Like JF's columns." We then ponder: Who is the mystery object or life force(s) that "Like JF's columns" ? EVERYONE. Who likes JF’s columns? If I take the “I” out from “I like JF’s columns” then its:

“Like JF’s columns.”

We then ponder: Who is the mystery object or life force(s) that “Like JF’s columns” ?

We are able to define a strappy pair of Blahnik spikes - but, figuring out ourselves? Not so much. There's a saying: You can never have too many friends or too many pairs of shoes. Probably not born of a Zen mind? A material object is much easier to understand than something cerebral. It's more quantifiable, provable. Dealing with that which we can think but can't see is much harder - and, therefore, less popular. Some call it insignificant. Some call it faith. You can never have too many friends or too deep an understanding of ourselves. Shoe allotment is dependent on space. Them shoes will eat you outta house and home...but there's always room for more enlightment. Such a great point, JF – it’s easier to deal with an external object than with what’s going on inside us.
