Culture is the you you are not responsible for, it is the extra weight clinging to you, and around it you grow, you are never separate from it - ideas, dreams, expectations - culture weaves its reality through you and around you, it holds you above the ocean below.

Culture sustains the weak above the abyss, it holds them like a mother of ideas, like a father of reality - do not fear - it whispers - no matter how broken how lost how sick you become, I am here, my weight will suspend you above the ocean beasts.

"The You is older than the I" Nietzsche
