Response to Banach lecture part 2

Do I really feel alone in this world? I feel I cant talk to nobody about what is on my mind. I can't even understand my on thoughts really so how alone really? I don't understand my emotion's, pains, or feelings, so where does that leave me in this world. I understand Banach's point of each of us having own "island of subjectivity". Its like we have some kind of secret island that we are only able to find the coordinates on the map. No one knows how to get there except us.

Banach suggests this, and I agree with him.

People in the world around us can "do what they want to my body, manipulate the objects or pictures on me on my mental TV screen, but they can never touch or control the real me". Its absolutely, 100%, impossible for someone to literally go inside you and feel your pain read your feelings. The most they can possibly do to you is destroying the personal belongings around you. And when he said that, it convinced me in a way where I can't communicate with nobody at all.
When people ay they can't do this or they can't do that it really fusturates me sometimes. I think for people to say they can't do this or that, it jut shows that they arent pushing theirselves to their farthest limit. "No matter how I try to avoid it, I am free to do whatever I choose." People don't seem to realize that if you want to actually do something and you put your mind to it, then you can do it. It's just that simple. People try to be something their not, and that be some of the reasons they don't think they can becertain things. Its your mind that keeps doubting your ability not people around you. We, and I speak for everybody including me, try's to do things that other people think is right instead of following their own dreams. we have to make the "Source of our nature and values our own internal decisions rather than the picctures of ourselves that appear in minds from external sources." We can't let these outside feelings get in our head and take over what we really want to go after and become.
Even though I agree with him deeply, I also have to disagree with him in some ways. In certain situations, people do go through the same situation. Like if I was to have a family problem like my mother being beating by her husand. If someone was to have the same family problem as me, they could undertand how i'm feeling about it and how it affects. I'm not saying that that person will understand 100%, but they will have some kind of idea on what I am going through. So in some cases people have other people to talk to in the world when they need it, thats why we aren't 100% alone in this world. But what if it was a ibling that had the ame experience as you? Are you and that sibling abl to know where eachother is coming from?
People do have freedom. People can do what they want. If someone wanted to rob a bank or kill someobody, they will do it. Even though it is against the law to do these actions, it's not going to stop people's action's. They can get penalized for it but at the end of the day, THEY DID WHAT THEY WANTED. Thats why people make decisions how ever they want and when they want. law's only can control them, but since it's an internal thing, there is but so much you can do to that persons mind.
But the question is, can we ESCAPE our freedom? I think not. How can you escape your freedom? How can you esccape what you are intitled too? How can you escape the fact that you can make your own decisions? "In choosing to identify ourselves with some externally determined object we are choosing none the less". Anything you do in life is made by a decision. It's that simple.
Period.
