shared knowledge, psychic links and that little part of someone we have inside of us

I have a belief, that any interpretation we have of someone... predominantly from our experiences with them forms a composite version of them within us. It can be tightly formed, loose and if push comes to shove it may have control over us...like how one can think how other people would judge ones actions.

When we feel this image of a person relates with another persons image..and when both parties agree..perhaps a bond exists. By two independents holding a similiar image, at least in some aspect of the image, there precipitates a connection of that image. Does this image connection to the subject, who the image is of? and at their passing...is this not all that is left?

I think that friends, enemies and collaborators form the after life of an individual within their collective and shared experience of that person.
