Quote:In logic, the law of identity is the first of the three classical laws of thought. It states that "each thing is the same with itself and different from another".
Basically what it says is that X is what X is, X is different from what Y is.
Pillow is what pillow is, pillow is different from what bed is.
This is a relative truth.
Saying X is what X is have more of a chance of being an absolute truth,even then the statement that X is what X is hinges on the belief that Y is not X. If there is a Y that is X then the statement that X is what X is becomes meaningless. Because that statement could be contradicted by the statement that X is what Y is.
Everything is relative to something.
