Huh.  I would have thought it could arise without "me"... but now I'm not 
sure.  Is it inherently subjective... is anything inherently 
subjective?  What about vision, eye-consciousness... that certainly arises 
without "me"... right? lol  I don't understand anything. :)  Is this 
something special about feelings that you are pointing out?  Or does this 
apply to all experience whatsoever?
