I am a game of make-believe

“There is a life behind the personality that uses personalities as masks. There are times when life puts off the mask and deep answers unto deep.” -Dion Fortune

I create a story about the past and I title it “history”.

I attach my self to “history” and I call that “personal identity”.

Then I play a game:

I pretend that there is a world separate from me in which my “personal identity” is just one of many characters.

I call this game “life”.

Sometimes it’s fun. Sometimes it’s painful.

Either way, I don’t get too worked up about it.

It’s just a game that I made up.
