They become autonomous aspects of what we are"<br /><br />They only become "us", I think, as a result of us attaching to them.

It probably gets harder to change as we get older, but I think it is still possible.Sam Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978971199859845931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-68694656474704320222012-09-21T20:54:26.406+01:002012-09-21T20:54:26.406+01:00Demetrius - yes, some fading demand but no supply....Demetrius - yes, some fading demand but no supply.<br /><br />Roger - yet opinions are somehow much more retentive than arseholes aren't they?

Yes I think they are - for some - so may I add Damascene Conversion (difficult these days) and prefrontal lobotomy.
