Peter T

I think that I said what I said because I don't see myself in terms of "selves". My future self is what my current self will become.

My current self is therefore a pretty good indication of what my future self will be.

My current self is "me".

It is in no way divorced from my 'past selves'. I have always been me.

I need to know that to understand myself fully.

To deny it is to lie about myself.

Subjectively, I intend to enjoy life in all its richness and beauty, and to learn something about it in the process.

I, like you, wish that everybody thought this way.

Unfortunately, political realities deny many people the opportunity, even though you will find that the most optimistic and outward looking people in this world are from communities that don't have the time to contemplate their navels.

Bloody hell, I'm mashed! {:|
