How do you do, introducing the person I didn't know I wasn't

Stop for a moment and have a go at living for just 5 more minutes, without identifying a single thought that relates to yourself as an individual. In starting to explore this concept of meme's, it is funny even to look at the name and see me...me.
This draws a deep need for awareness to be able to explore the way in which I use me, my, I.
It begs the opportunity to challenge every use of these words, and every context they are clothed in. It delivers the perfect opportunity to question and explore every statement made, to get to the bottom of what constitutes ownership over the words that flow from the mouth, and the thoughts that congregate in the mind.
In essence 'I' am calling upon 'my' mind to challenge the illusions that have been held in place with the "I, my, me" words. In doing so, "I" hope to achieve an awareness of the globalised separation that has occurred in every individual on the planet, and change of behaviour that needed to prevent the ongoing global sin that is 'the education of every new mind that enters', and thus perpetuating a self destructive spiral -starting with 'myself'.
Have a go of looking at the following questions. Then try writing up 10 of your own questions. Each question you type up, put " " around each "I, me, my" word everytime.
Here are the questions:
Is it really "my wants" that 'I' instinctively and blindly submit to everyday. Is it really "my favourites" that 'I' choose when obliging these 'wants'
Is it really 'my pain" that 'I' indulge in when presented with an opportunity to share another's perspective.
Are these really "my goals" that 'I' have set and follow every day.
How much of what "I" am doing is culturally, or socially induced? How much of it is second or third generation conditioning, so well hidden, that it operates completely below the radar all of the time.
