The novelist Masao Abe has said, “In our daily life, there are momentswhen we are here with ourselves—moments in which we feel a vaguesense of unity. But at other moments we find ourselves there—looking atourselves from the outside. We fluctuate between here and there frommoment to moment: homeless, without a place to settle.” He goes on toadd that only humans experience this divisive self-consciousness, thatplants and other animals just are what they are.
