Self and Other—Unity in Duality

 You are both the observer and the observed.

 Elaboration: Ah, the dual nature of perception! You stand in the world, observing it unfold, believing yourself to be a separate entity—yet you are also a part of that very world, observed by others, and shaped by what you see. The Mad Mage has walked through cities unnoticed, only to realize that even in solitude, one is never truly unobserved. The self is both subject and object, at once perceiving and being perceived.

 Reflection:

How do you perceive yourself in relation to others? When do you feel like an observer, and when do you feel like the one being observed? How might the way others see you shape your own understanding of who you are?
