An essential component of human perception is experiencing a sensation which leads an individual to feel that they are an separate something which is differentiated from the systems around them. This is commonly referred to as one's identity, ego or sense of self. It is used in linguistic conversation through the use of pronouns such as I, me, mine and myself as a tool for contrasting one from other people or any other system which is not felt to be them. | An essential component of human perception is experiencing a sensation which leads an individual to feel that they are an separate something which is differentiated from the systems around them.
