WHAT IS A PERSON?

WHAT IS A PERSON?

    Let us explore what a “person” is. A “person” is a continuity of changing events, process itself, a complex flux of conditions that, when investigated, is all that a person really is.   A collective set of conditions is not a self; it is not an isolated collectivity since all is related and interdependent, each with all, and all with each.  A collective set of conditions is usually conceived of as a self, but there are only conditions, no real self-being or “eternal” entity of any sort.   Albeit, this pseudo-entity, as a collectivity, does have the capability of altering the conditions of its collective conditionality, changing dysfunctional or unskillful characteristics into better ones, or vice versa.   Since there is no definitive boundary anywhere in the totality of the flux of conditionality, there is nowhere that an isolated self can be found.   All is process; all is functionality.
