According to convention, I am not simply what I am doing now. I am also what I have done, and my conventionally edited version of my past is made to seem almost more the real “me” than what I am at this moment.

It is the firm basis for predictions of what I will be in the future, and so it comes about that I am more closely identified with what no longer exists longer exists than with what actually is!
