What does personal mean? A personal world?

What does personal mean to me? 1. It means aimed at a particular person, in the sense of inviting meeting. 2. It has a characteristic of me and we. Like the sign I saw today “lease me,” it tugs at something inside us, saying “we are of the same stuff.” 3. It therefore says we are united, connected, one, in some real way. 4. It invites a mutuality in each of these three things.

So a personal world would likely have these same characteristics: 1. This world would be aimed at me and want to meet me; 2. I would understand this world as composed of the same stuff as me; 3. The world and I would comprise a single we; 4. I would be drawn to say these same things to the world—we are of the same stuff, we are one, I want to meet you.
