How do I proceed now that I have concluded what my existence is?

If others are not their minds then I must somehow deal with their bodies.

But dealing with bodies is not dealing with them as objects. This is not the objectification of people. This would be a grave mistake.

As a child I experienced myself as not understanding the difference between bodies and objects. That I can treat bodies like objects. I did not differentiate between the two kinds of materials. Eventually, I understood the difference.

A person’s ability to react to another’s actions is different to objects which do not react.

I react to other’s actions. I can only assume they have the same feelings and emotions as I do when I react. My experiences of feelings and emotions, and my assumption that others experiences are similar but not identical to mine is reasonable.

These experiences is how I navigate to sympathy and empathy.
