The Great Pretender

Imagine four bare walls, one ceiling and one floor—a specific environment—a prefabricated building in any city you wish and anything else you may desire. Your life can parallel that scenario as you filter through exactly what you want to see or how you want to be seen. At times you may not even know yourself. Who are you? Try this mental exercise.
If you shed your skin and piled it on the floor at your feet, would that be you on the floor?
If you then took your bones and put it on top of your skin on the floor, would that be you?
If your soft tissue, ligaments, tendons and muscles are 1aced on top of that pile, would that be you?
If you then took your organs, blood and fluid and lilaced it on top of the pile, would that be you?
If the answer is “no,” then who and where are you?
