Document Summary
Talk about viewing yourself through new technology and your own consciousness. You want to know their interest of me. Seeing someone look at another through a keyhole. You become aware of yourself as an object/seen as by the other. You"re aware of yourself as a consciousness that has transcended yourself through. You have a sense that the other"s gaze is in touch with my reality where that reality other escapes me. We look for others to give perspective that we don"t have access to. To be human is to never have a hold on yourself, you are always looking at other people for feedback. We want the other"s sense of us to match with our sense of us, and its something that is really difficult to do. (leads to: love) To be human is to be fundamentally insecure, there are others that become secure.
