When you think about yourself

When you think about yourself... About your real, true self... It's not the face in the mirror that comes into your mind. It's the story of you. How you got here. Where you're going. All the moments that make you who you are. But that's not all. Religion, philosophy, politics and science... They're all stories. With the whole Universe as the hero. And we listen. And if we like what we're hearing, we accept it. We believe.
