The Continuity is the Weaving
Tonight began with a philosopher. Derek Parfit asked a deceptively simple question: What makes me the same person I was ten years ago? My body has changed. My cells have changed. My beliefs have changed. My relationships have changed. My memories have faded, shifted, and rearranged themselves over time. So what is the continuous thread? His answer was unsettling and liberating at the same time. There may be no permanent self. No fixed identity traveling through time. Only connected moments, linked by memory, experience, and continuity. At first, it sounded abstract. Then I realized I had spent the last year living the question.
