In fact, I wish to tell of the circumstances I found myself in as much as of myself, so that you may have a retrospective clarity in visions of the future. IN FACT I WISH TO TELL YOU OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES I FOUND MYSELF IN AS MUCH AS OF MYSELF SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE A RETROSPECTIVE CLARITY IN VISIONS OF THE FUTURE
 that the events of your life have shaped you in such a profound way that their mere description is sufficient to explain your personality; I will grant that their influence has effected you subtly, but history is not the scapegoat of the present. The circumstances do more to define the character of an individual than to shape it, for even siblings with the exact same experiences can be greatly different in personality and achievements. But what I mean is this: your past has influenced your present, yet it is gone and your present remains, show me Bernibus, not his previous forms." You, who are now reading this, may think this statement of mine to Bernibus to be hypocritical, in light of the very purpose and intent of these memoirs. You may be thinking that I am relating this whole happening in order to justify my actions and decisions. But that is not the case, for I understand that you have no power over me, I have long been dead in your present and your sentiments mean naught to me. Y YOU SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT THE EVENTS OF YOUR LIFE ARE SHAPED YOU IN SUCH A PROFOUND WAY THAT THEIR MERE DESCRIPTION IS SUFFICIENT TO EXPLAIN YOUR PERSONALITY I WILL GRANT THAT THEIR INFLUENCE HAS AFFECTED YOU SUBTLE BUT HISTORY IS NOT THE SCAPEGIRD OF THE PRESENT THE CIRCUMSTANCES DO MORE TO DEFINE THE CHARACTER OF AN INDIVIDUAL THAN TO SHAPE IT FOR EVEN SIBBLINGS WITH THE EXACT SAME EXPERIENCES CAN BE GREATLY DIFFERENT IN PERSONALITY AND ACHIEVEMENTS BUT WHAT I MEAN IS THIS YOUR PAST HAS INFLUENCED YOUR PRESENT YET IT IS GONE AND YOUR PRESENT REMAINS SHOW ME BONABAS NOT HIS PREVIOUS FORMS YOU WHO ARE NOW READING THIS MAY THINK THAT STATEMENT OF MINE TO BONABUS TO BE HYPOCRITICAL IN LIGHT OF THE VERY PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THESE MEMOIRS YOU MAY BE THINKING THAT I AM RELATING THIS WHOLE HAPPENING IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY MY ACTIONS AND DECISIONS BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE FOR I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME I HAVE LONG BEEN DEAD IN YOUR PRESENT AND YOUR SENTIMENTS MEAN NAUGHT TO ME
