Pay to Play

"Because we are all one, you actually knocked yourself up. And I shouldn't be required to pay child support to myself."
During The Chemical Buddha's various states of 'enlightenment', he spilled his seed all over the place. Months later, when a woman he'd never seen before showed up with a baby that looked like him (but then, don't all babies look like The Chemical Buddha?) he would try to use this defense to keep from paying child support. When the fact he didn't have a job and no visible assets actually did a much better job of swaying the court. Of course, he always got a court order to get (and keep) a job. There were rare occasions a farmer would show up claiming The Chemical Buddha had knocked up one of his sheep, but that's a story for another time. (December 29th to be exact.)
How does seeing yourself as separate from everything around you keep you from taking responsibility for what's going on?
How would things be different if we all cared for each other as we'd care for ourselves?
