Back to I and Me. We also say “May I take this?” and the answer is “From me?” On the surface taking and giving are respectively I and Me. ''But'', the I initiates the action, and by initiating, by creating, the I is giving. The Me nominally giving is actually being taken from. What I get from this is that givers take even as givers, and takers give even as takers which is why strong givers have anxiety about taking and vice versa. | Back to I and Me.

Very interesting. I made an error above. I meant to say givers give even when they seem to be taking; takers take even when they | Very interesting. I made an error above.

To continue: (despite all odds of my over-fecund brain) I believe intuitively that the rest of the vowels in English come from I. Eee we have already explored. It is buried in Me. It is the feminization, or better the feminine element in Me which contains both MMMMM (the grunt of the savage male) and EEEEEEEE (the delight of the female.) Ahhhhh, aaaaaaah, ohhhhhh, oooooooo, ehhhhhhhh, ihhhh (the ‘I’ sound of it or give.) ayyyyyy (as gave) and the last vowel is ‘u’ that is the sound of YOU. | To continue: (despite all odds of my over-fecund brain) I believe intuitively that the rest of the vowels in English come from I.

Before we go any further I want to say that from my slight knowledge of other languages it is obvious to me that English (or Saxon—that is, English deprived of its Latinisms) is a very primitive language. It is exceptionally onomatopoetic, and therefore its spelling is so outrageous, for to conceal the obvious meanings of the sounds it was necessary that intelligent people, the very people who could go at the meanings, should be led astray by the spellings. This is one source of outrageous spelling. The other is that words were undoubtedly combined and fused letters separated.

(For instance, “s,” I believe, used to be written as “f.”) The connection between fucking and the piss-shit axis had to broken. | ||
To go on. The primitive like the baby beginning to speak must first have conceived of I, and Me (I’m not sure in which order), then You, then It (a great discovery for his environment because less dangerous), then Give and Take—Take undoubtedly first from the point of the view of the baby, Give being the growing understanding of the world outside. One ''gives'' to locate the world which is why psychopaths are givers. One takes in order to understand the world. | To go on.
