Deceit

By the five senses we perceive impressions from the world outside.
By our thoughts we judge and discriminate of these impressions.
But all this being caused by something from outside, what has that to do with who you are?

Still the senses.
Stop thinking.
Then answer me, my friend: Who are you?
