What makes one and what makes two?

The body is one, almost always.

Perhaps except for its two legs,

its two arms,

two ears,

Two eyes...

Oh... well then the body is many twos, almost always.

But wait, this is to exempt the fingers and the toes... so the body has tens, almost always?

Ah, but then you take those little microbiology classes and get into the billions of organisms within the body that make up everything we are in physicality and your whole worldview might just flip on its axis.

So what now? We're made of multitudes then?

Almost always.

Well, if our body is a multitude, then is our mind too?

Not always.

Well, there is a multitude of emotions and a multitude of thoughts. So many thoughts for some that the brain is like a street during rush hour in New York. So the mind is a multitude?

I'll only make a small comment that we have never been to New York so that analogy might fall a bit flat, but yes, that would be a multitude, Almo-

Almost always?

Heh, yeah. Almost always.
