So are most things in life. While we want to explain how everything is a different thing let's not forget that breaking most abstractions entails a valid point is being raised. I don't agree with almost all of the hacker_9's opinion, but that is just my opinion, which does not automatically make it a valid opinion.
And we are all miserably part of your existence. Which does not imply that we should not be viewed as separate entities with different beliefs, desires and ways of reacting/interacting to the noise around us.
