It’s interesting how language shapes our perception of the self. In English, we say, "I am hungry," where the self's identity becomes synonymous with hunger in that moment. In most other languages the same phrase is said: "I feel hunger”. This phrasing separates the self (I) from the experience of hunger. 👇🏻
