    Makes pefect sense. Most of them probably start off as roberts, bobbies, jasons, an jacobs. I don't think anybody calls their 4 year old bob.

    er not exactly. what not making sense is the way the culture that comes from, that likely surrounds most of us, thinks of our younger selves, and the other selves we give physical forms so they can walk arround like us in.

    the mind functions from sometime between conception and birth until, in death, all measurable physiological brain activity ceases. awairness may begin if it has a begining and end if it has an end, much sooner and later. awairness to itself is awairness, whatever external circumstance or acumlated data or shortage thereof.

    what you are saying, yes i am awaire of, but i am also awair of the roll of cultural perspectives in such feelings.

    from my own perspective it makes no sense that two people should have similar (to each other) sounding names, let alone similar sounding names premeditatedly choosen for them.
