I've spoken to myself so many times in the 2nd person, perhaps I am a group. In which case I should write "myselves."

A propos not being afraid of what is fearful, I believe that the brain responds positively to words which are syntactically negated. So if you say "Don't be afraid", my brain hears "afraid" and the alarm bells start ringing. So when a friend of mine says "I didn't mean to be offensive", he gets offended because I roll my eyes, thinking that he is indeed offensive. I am offensive. Jesus was offensive--but he said to his listeners, "Happy are those who take no offense at me." The question is, do I kill a person by not taking offense at their offensiveness? How can they fulfil the existential essence, the entelechy, the praxis, the quiddity, the whatness of their being if they say "Forgive my arrogance." and you say, "What arrogance?"
