MAN OF THE PRESENT










I don’t have a past.   That person of forty years ago, or fifty years ago is not me.  There is not one single molecule in my body that existed in my avatar.  I don’t think the same, I don’t have the same values, I don’t desire the same things; I see and interact with the world totally different as an eighty-year-old man.  


I am me – today – that is who I am.


Who was that guy?   He’s not me!
