Horn of Reflection



I went too far this time.

Missed my stop.

I’ve probably done this many times before,

But why would I remember doing something like that.



Memory is a complex issue.

When there’s a lot on your mind the days just fly by,

It’s like being transferred into the future-now without gaining any knowledge of what went on in-between.

Things just seem like a blur.



My memories are all I have of what I used to be.

Sometimes I close my eyes and sense what yesterday used to feel like.

Am I so different from what I was yesterday?

I look different, but I don’t feel different.



Okay, I know more than I did.

And I’m wiser.

This does not constitute a difference in my personhood.



Knowledge and wisdom are just tools that will help you get what you want.

However, the more I know, and the wiser I am,

I realize the closest I’ve been to having what I want was as a child.
