Through the incessant repetition of pronouns , a person becomes an ongoing entity with a fixed, stable identity, a marketing system, a defense system. The conclusion is inevitable that all experiences derive from the central reference point: "I am , I was and I will be."

Pronouns are merely figures of speech, which function as social conventions. The pronouns generate a continual stream of concepts, which distances the subject from the object. Even the collective pronouns "we and us " are used to distinguish from "they and them." There is a vast array of automatic assumptions which are attached to "he, she , us ,me , myself , you."

On inspection, it can be seen that pronouns are no more substantial than ever-changing reflections in a mirror ... and can be sidestepped, diminished or deleted with no loss in social functioning.

The easy reliance on pronouns as ultimately valid definitions, is little more than a bad habit.
