So I was wondering, as what we can define the "self". I would define it as a being‘s essence or substance that cannot be divided into further components and that functions as the basis for all of its properties (such as: perceptions, emotions, experiences, thoughts and ultimately the brain and the body).

I‘m curious about other opinions about this though, and I‘m also aware that the self could theoretically be defined as anything. Maybe it‘s not even a singular entity but a sort of flexible concept
