[MD] Some Abiding Beliefs-Part 2

[Case]

>> [Case]
>> Despite my best efforts, I can not say that I have ever felt myself to
>> be other than myself. How do you achieve this?

>[Platt]
> Rather than something achieved, it just happens. At least that's been my
> experience.

[Case]
I have experience many different versions of myself sometimes
spontaneously, sometimes at considerable expense. But however mangled,
they were all still me.

>> [Case]
>> I find the three score and ten a bit confining but what sort of
>> existance would you have without food, gravity or duty?

>[Platt]
> A different existence for sure, but more free wouldn't you agree? But in
> our present state, the static qualities of gravity, duty and need to eat
> are necessary constraints.

[Case]
Free, yes. Appealing no. Life without constraint sounds pretty boring.
Don't you think that to some extent it is those necessary constraints that
inspire our creativity?
