To separate oneself or one

To separate oneself or one

Summary

To separate oneself or one's self from others is to create a divide and establish a distinct identity. It involves distancing from societal norms, ideologies, or influences, and can be driven by a desire for independence or personal growth. This act of separation allows for individuality and free-thinking, giving space for self-discovery and the exploration of different perspectives and values. It can be both liberating and challenging, as it requires the courage to stand apart from the crowd and embrace one's uniqueness. Ultimately, embracing this separation can lead to personal growth and a deeper understanding of oneself.

She was satisfied with the answer God had given Moses from the burning bush when Moses had seen fit to question. Who are you? Mose asks, and God comes back from that bush just as pert as you like: I Am, Who I AM. In other words, Mose, stop beatin around this here bush and get your old ass in gear.

Look, at some point, you cease being a free economy, and you become a government economy. And we've got to stop that.
