Our inner selves are always barricaded behind codes of language.
They say either that there is no divine self or that there are more divine selves than one.
The past selves are indifferent or undecided between the outcomes available to the present self.
Attempting to come to terms with these rapid social changes, individuals increasingly withdrew into silence, fearful of exposing their true selves to strangers.
Every item in the world, from stars to selves, is simply part of a divine mind, the thinking of which constitutes all of reality.
Narratives are seen, then, both as rhetorical ploys (disguising genuine selves) and as the very thing that guarantees our ability to have selves.
The duality is between the public and private selves of the candidates.
Such self-representations function as incentives or deterrents for future behaviour (selves to be approached or avoided).
