you (singular)/one Explanation: I think the first sentence is mentioned as a general fact that "one (anyone) would be just a puppet if he didn't..." and the statement is somewhat relevant to the addressees and the speaker. |

We or I Explanation: 己is we or I in Japanese like 我、comes from 自己 the difference of 私and 己is that 己has more identity with will power. When we use 己 in the sentence, we talk about I metaphorically teaching others. In this case, it has a hidden meaning of 'I am not controlled by any parties' and in general.k it is the same to anyone if one doesn't have an identity (power). |
