I = We
The word “I” is the biggest misinterpretation in the history of the human kind… and in all languages… sounds awesome, right? 
The word “I” should be pronounced “We” and referred as such. Everything you say as “I” counts for everyone. Everything you say or think is based on previous generations and have influence on future ones. You can’t separate it. To help properly interpret that word singular and plural form should be identical, same like singular and plural “You”.
Dictionary says that “I”
- refers to the speaker or writer, it is the ego/self
- in chemistry it is a symbol for iodine
- it is a Roman digit 1
Try to use the word “We” instead of “I” for one day. While saying it feel all the ancestors behind you, and all people in the future. It is very hard, you will see.
Note for toastmasters: The word “I” was introduced by me as a word of the day on my recent Toastmaster meeting. It was used 148 times “We” was used 48 times and among that only 5 times instead of “I”. There was a great laugh on that. Quite shocking how often we use the word “I”.
