The Story of the Mind

CHAPTER IV
64/85

Our sense of Self is constantly changing, constantly being enriched.

We have not the same thought of self two days in succession.

To-day I think of myself as something to be proud of, to-morrow as something to be ashamed of.

To-day I learn something from you, and the thought that it is common to you and to me is the basis of my sympathy with you.

To-morrow I learn to commit the unworthy act which Mr.A.commits, and the thought that he and I are so far the same is the basis of the common disapproval which I feel of him and me.
