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 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
 the northernmost pier of Daem, the Gog." "Wait a moment, Bernibus," I interrupted, "I didn't mean in that fashion, for when I say I know little of you, it is because I literally know little of 'you', not the circumstances that make up your past. I guess it goes back to the interpretation of the past and its powers, and since we can't seem to escape discussing it, lets embrace it willingly. You seem to believe 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. VITA TO A POOR COUPLE FROM THE NORTHERNMOST PEER OF DAUM THE GOG WAIT A MINUTE BONABAS I INTERRUPTED I DIDN'T MEAN IT IN THAT FASHION FOR WHEN I SAY I KNOW LITTLE OF YOU IT IS BECAUSE I LITERALLY KNOW LITTLE OF YOU NOT THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MADE UP YOUR PAST I GUESS IT GOES BACK TO THE INTERPRETATION OF THE PAST AND ITS POWERS AND SINCE WE CAN'T SEEM TO ESCAPE DISCUSSING IT LET'S EMBRACE IT WILLINGLY 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
