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. For what I am seems so fleeting and intangible, but what I was is fixed and final. 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!

There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,There is society, where none intrudes,By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal from all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the Universe, and feel What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.Lord Byron
