Not true.

Lee — 3/4/2007 3:22:50 AM (archived)

Our experiences and memories may help to shape how we think, but they don't make us who we are. I am still the same person I was 10 or 20 years ago. Even though I have had many experiences and made many memories since, the same person still looks through these eyes. The Self remains, memories are peripheral.
