Some might say sociology/anthropology as well, Mr Wong... how does one
learn to differentiate between that-which-is-called 'self' and
that-which-is-not? Consider the horrors which might be found in the
punishment of banishment when what some folks call 'a group' is necessary
for the survival of what some folks call 'an individual'; when the Human
Beings say 'you are no longer a part of us' then a logical response might
be to go out into the forest, sing a Death Song and be done with it all.
