Hm! This is interesting. I'm not used to thinking about it this way. A question - in your earlier email, you said: "Fun (and everything else arising as "other" in our awareness) is in the realm of dependent arising." Does fun (or anything else arising in awareness) necessarily have to be experienced as "other"? Can't the feeling of fun arise without being perceived in terms of self and other?
