If you ask a glass of water “Who are you?” and it could answer, it would say, “I hold water.” Ask a light bulb, and it would answer, “I am a light bulb. I use electricity and give light.” But if someone asks you, “Who are you?” what are you going to say? When you say “that tree,” you are referring to something definite. When you say “this carpet” you know what you’re referring to. But what are you referring to when you say “me”?
