Daily life is the starting point as an obvious as well as normal comprehension web of others' and the world's. Daily life appears to us as a reality interpreted by Man who thus transforms a neutral fact into a meaningful event. The author aims at showing that experiences, perceptions, and actions among humans are compromised into a significative gathering. 'A person is not a thing which exists first, and, then, in relation to others'. Constantly, we think about others and what others are thinking about others: We can, thus, move into a third, a fourth, or a fifth level of perspectives. Don't we by chance come across this reciprocal spiral perspective when two people distrust one another without actually showing it? Above all, identity is part of expectations and other definitions' definitions, originated before birth and reaching further well after death. When you perceive the other, and the other perceives you, you are doing it through typified schemes, even when facing each other. These are reciprocal schemes which in turn become progressively anonymous as they recede away from the face to face situation.
