I - Who?

When you are angry ask yourself: Who is angry?

When you are disappointed ask yourself: Who is disap-
pointed?

When you are in need of something ask yourself: Who
needs?

When you are sad ask yourself: Who is sad?

Why is it that it is always the external world that is to be blamed? And yet, all of your answers start with I (with a capital letter). Who is this I (who is angry, disappointed, in need, and sad)?

This mysterious I interacts with the world but still takes no responsibility for his or her actions. Why does this I always projects the reasons for hardship and excuses on the external world? Interaction requires at least two parties.

How about sorting out things with this I first and dealing
with the world later?
