The continuity of the self

The continuity of the self

To live is to inherit a self from the past, modify it through present experience, and steward it toward a future self.

A disciplined life may simply be one in which present selves repeatedly sacrifice something so that future selves inherit better conditions.

This creates an extraordinary ethical principle: Treat your future self as someone whose life has been entrusted to your stewardship.
