That fragility is something you have to come to grips with if you've ever known someone that has a brain injury.
The self changes rapidly when dementia, alzheimers, a car crash, or a concussion which rocks someone's world the wrong way.
Who we are is incredibly fragile. You are just one bad infection away from being a different person.
I agree with you and I think we're changing at every moment, all the time, but it's usually gradual enough that most people don't notice or care until it manifests as new behavior.
My life is materially the same as it was on Friday but I definitely feel different after events this weekend.
