Aristotle
Suppose, for instance, that in the season of the
Cynosure [the Dog Days of summer] arctic cold
were to prevail, this we would regard as anaccident, whereas, if there were a sweltering
heatwave, we would not. And this is because
the latter, unlike the former, is always or for the
most part the case.

Is the truth [of no-self] depressing? Some may find it so. But
I find it liberating, and consoling. When I believed that my
existence was [a µdeep further fact, distinct from physicaland psychological continuity, and a fact that must be all-or-
nothing¶], I seemed imprisoned in myself . My life seemed
like a glass tunnel, through which I was moving faster every
year, and at the end of which there was darkness. When I
changed my view, the walls of my glass tunnel disappeared.
I now live in the open air . There is still a difference between
my life and the lives of other people. But that difference is
less. Other people are closer . I am less concerned about
the rest of my own life, and more concerned about the livesof others.
