"My-Body"

[The Sum of Awe]

We also say, "My mind" and My ego" ...

If you want to cancel out his whole argument - we also say "Myself"

 

[Gjallarhorn]

We say "my" about everything. We're all selfish jerks.

 

[nazz]

Because, when one uses the term "My-Body". it means "My" is some another personality which is not the "Body" itself.

Isn't this an evidence of "Soul" for the people who doesn't believe there's any "Soul" in their body ?

No, because I can also say "my soul"

Interesting language we have. In third person we can say "George's body, George's ego, George's mind, George's emotions etc. but when would we say "George's self". George's self told himself to jump farther?"

Yet ewe can say myself ... unless myself is different than my self, or my Self.

No it doesn't. It is just the form of speech we are taught to use to differentiate between self and other.

What do you suggest people say when they go to a doctor with a body part problem?

How about sex talk - with no "my," "your?"

I've also heard, multiple times, people say "My soul". You are thinking deep, but not in the right direction - Just because the body is something that pertains to you, it doesn't mean that it can't be you as well.

The whole system is you. The body alone, the soul alone, the mind alone, etc. is not the self, the self is all put together.

Suppose, there's a man who lost his leg in an accident.
He uses the term; I lost "My-Leg", even when his leg is no more the part of the "Whole-System", Why ?

 

[chinu]

We also say, "My mind" and My ego" ...

That just because, if we say.. "My-My" it will not make much sense.

 

[chinu]

But the argument is about.. When we use the term "My-Body"

 

[chinu]

No it doesn't. It is just the form of speech we are taught to use to differentiate between self and other.

And, what about the man who lost his leg in an accident ?

 

[InformedIgnorance]

Then he has one less leg.

 

[Vinayaka]

'My' is temporary. School children say 'my' desk. That lasts approximately 10 months. My body lasts precisely one lifetime.

 

[chinu]

Then he has one less leg.

Will he use the term "My-leg" for the leg which he loosed in an accident ?

The desk is temporary, not "My"

 

[SageTree]

Aaaaaaaaand my post was simply ignored. Niiice.

That is a good enough answer for me.

It is evidence that people are easily confused into thinking that the body is somehow separate from them. It's smoke and mirrors.

 

[Vinayaka]

The desk is temporary, not "My"

So the individual owns the desk forever?

 

[Vinayaka]

When there is a question, doesn't that mean one would like to hear others opinions?

Nope. At least apparently not. I think an area of the mind, something akin to groundhog's day is that of the continuing question.

 

[InformedIgnorance]

Will he use the term "My-leg" for the leg which he loosed in an accident ?

Most people would, but both of the following would be valid:
I lost (one of) my leg(s) in an accident
I lost the leg (that is missing) in an accident

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Suppose, there's a man who lost his leg in an accident.
He uses the term; I lost "My-Leg", even when his leg is no more the part of the "Whole-System", Why ?

Because it came from his body, I'm sure he has rights over his leg.

Good point. When someone says "my body" he's acknowledging a distinction between himself and his body. Else, a person would say "it's me and I can do what I want with me."
