Exactly. The logic of language (which both mimics and influences our understanding of the world) treats each named thing as if it is its own independent thing. In terms of material interactions--wheel independent of axle, for example--this understanding is an extremely powerful, manipulative tool. But in terms of understanding our 'place' in the world? It is next to useless, because there is no 'me' independent from 'world.'
We (each of us) are children of our context, and vice versa! As a wheel lacking an axle is no longer a working 'wheel,' so we lacking our world (and vice versa, our world lacking us!) are no longer what we were. To put that another way, as our world changes so do we, because we do and must reflect our context. But the versa is also true! As we change, so does our world. Thus it is not 'what' we are that so much matters. Rather, it is how we change and respond to our world. That is the true reflection of our being...
