Have you ever looked at someone else's
life with envy, just enough envy that you wish for a moment or two (or
longer) that you could be them? Are there moments when, if the opportunity to
be them were on {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, you might be tempted by it?
Would we really want this? And what
might we learn about ourselves or how we see our lives if we {#blank#}2{#/blank#} considered it? To be sure, there are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} here. If you had someone else's life,
who would raise your children or love your spouse or take care of your parents
in their old age?
In fact, if you were someone else your
own children would not have come into existence in the first place. That's not
a happy thought. To {#blank#}4{#/blank#} this, perhaps the best way to cast
this is in terms of a trade: If you had their life then they would have yours,
and live it exactly as you would have. Your responsibilities would be {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, so there would be nothing to feel
guilty about.
If we think of it this way, then the
question of wanting to be someone else is a question of what we might call
experience: Is there anybody else whose experience of life you would prefer, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} everything else would be equal? One {#blank#}7{#/blank#} concern about wanting someone else's
experience is that my desire to be someone else is grounded in values and
desires that I have, and so I have to be me in order to want to be him.
However, it's not clear that that presents any real obstacle to such a desire.
The fact is that there would be at least enough overlap (重叠)with
them that they are exemplifying my values and desires but have a better
experience than I do. So I can still prefer to be them.
I think that, on reflection, most of us
would not want to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} with another person, no matter how
successful or tempting their lives seem. To see why, though, we'll need to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} our angle of vision. We will have to
look at our own experiences rather than at theirs, or perhaps look at our
experiences first. What would I be willing to give up to be another? My
relationships with everyone — children, spouse, friends —and my whole history.
I wouldn't have {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it. My loss would be that of the whole
of my own experience.
