Document Summary
The picture we have in our mind before we carry an act out. At the first stage we are only planning. The meaning of an action is in the completed act the emotion produced from the act. The meaning of the projected action is always different from that of the accomplished one. We must be able to see ourselves as both subject and object. I: is the subject phase, the actor responding to a stimulus. The me represents an object that is being acted upon in that sentence. ) A conversation with yourself is possible when you treat your own action as an object that in turn is responded to. We are able to control actions by not responding spontaneously, but by reflecting on the social consequences. For example if you see some ice cream and the voice in your head says not to eat it because you are too fat.
