This is one of those cases where the “yeah, but, what is like, ‘self’, man?” thing is problematic.

There’s a Pali sutta where the Buddha pointedly reminds his followers that they are responsible for the consensus-reality level of their personal identities. Don’t get cheeky. He walked out on his wife and son. It was intense. This sort of thinking is generally used to justify atrocity wherever it arises in Buddhist history.

I realize what you have said is just goofy rather than ominous - but if you want to understand this, I advise against a goofy form of reflection - or at least reflect on the deep reasons why such superficiality is not a liberated understanding. The Buddha did not take suffering lightly - including, I am sure, his family’s.
