Everyone plase answer this?

Please forgive me, I do NOT mean to sound rude or condescending, (or even lose my temper or scream or yell or curse or pull or tug in anyway) but: Why do you ume there is anything even remotely Meaningful and/or Universally Relevant about the notion of "self" to begin with? ... And what exactly is that aforementioned "self" supposed to learn from an ill-defined, and otherwise impossible-by-design, metaphorical marmalade?
