Think...."of an
experience from your
childhood. Something
you remember clearly,
something you can see,
feel, maybe even smell, as
if you were really
there. After all,
you really were there at
the time, weren't
you? How else would
you remember it? But
here is the bombshell: you weren't
there. Not a single
atom that was in your body
was there when the event
took place...Matter flows
from place to place, and
momentarily comes together
to be you. Whatever
you are, therefore, you
are not the stuff of which
you are made."

Life and How to Make It by
