A seperate "I"?

Buddhism states it's a misconception to think our mind and body are seperate from everything else.
The consequence is that this idea generates self-centeredness, because one thinks in terms of "I"and "mine".

Arising from this are 5 kinds of troubles:

1. greed
2. resentment 
3. righteousness
4. negligence and 
5. doubtfulness

Practicing selflessness and becoming aware that we own nothing will end this.
