Don't Confuse The Issue At Hand

This 'thing' ain't whirling around in space 'cause you on it.
You are part of it.
'You' are not 'it'.
But...
Wait a minute.
Let me re-think this.
hmmm
Let's see.
IF you 'are' part of it...
Wouldn't that make you all of it as well?
Or part of the whole?
Since the whole is part of you?

'I've been trying to tell you...
This is 'my' world.
It's yours too, ain't it? '

Well...
YEAH!

'Then what are you talking about when you say,
'IT ain't all about me?
Then 'who' and 'what' is 'this' all about? '

Don't confuse the issue at hand.
You always think you know so much.
And want everything your way!

'Didn't we just agree,
That this is 'my' world? '

Well...
Not 'all' of it!

'Then what part of my world don't you exist in?
What percentage of it is yours? '

Let's just dropp this.
We're not getting anywhere.

'I beg to differ.
Now as I was saying...
I'll drive my folks place,
And then we'll grab a bite to eat! '
