Quote by Eleanor Robson Belmont, recalled
In retrospect, the past seems not one existence with a continuous flow of years and events that follow each other in logical sequence, but a life periodically dividing into entirely separate compartments. Change of surroundings, interests, pursuits, has made it seem actually more like different incarnations.
Summary
This quote reflects on how our past often appears to be fragmented, consisting of distinct periods or "compartments" rather than a continuous and logical progression of events. The transitions between different phases in our life, such as changing environments, interests, and pursuits, create the perception that our past resembles separate lifetimes or incarnations. It suggests that the significant changes and shifts we experience contribute to viewing our past as a series of distinct compartments rather than a seamless continuum.
