Companionship verily the purpose of Self.

The answer to the question ‘what is the difference between the higher self and the lower self’ is that there is only oneself. Oneself is undivided but desires to perceive itself as diverse. Hence biodiversity. The desire to perceive diversity stems from loneliness. Self is diverse not to be by itself. Self is diverse for companionship. Companionship verily the purpose of self.
