That sentence alone is so contradictory it boggles the mind. Smile

We relate ourselves to our past and things we've done even when we've moved on. Even when we're not who we were - supposedly because the memories of the past are still there so it feels like part of our "I" now. Whatever "the I" is exactly. If you knot what I mean...?

Admit it, You've been reading Dennet again haven't you. Wink Shades

Okay, not hindered by knowledge on the subject:

"I" is what consists of all my parts, both conscious and unconscious, removed and regenerated, and what has formed me and continues to form me up to this point in the here and now.
