'I' cannot be defined without a 'you'. There is always an implied 'you'. But there is no actual need to move outside of 'I' - AKA Narcissus and his reflection; a hedonistic, self-absorbed relationship that does not open up. 'I' defines itself. Whereas 'you' opens up space, or spatiality of relation, a relationship between two parties.
In my notebook, I wrote: The God of the Bible says, "I am who I am."
But Who Are You? What makes You... You? Which made me start thinking and the question that gets thrown back at me is: "Ling, who am I to you?"
Here, God is not a Narcissus: the emphasis is placed on learning of and leaning on God's Identity before our own. And if Man and Creator are intended to be related and to be part of a two-way relationship (<->), who takes the lead? Who is the 'I' and who is the 'you'?
"I am who I am - but really, Who am I to you?" Do we really get God and who He actually is?
"Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." - 1 Cor 13:12
