Someone asked, "Does reality have a purpose for you?", so I
  answered: Purpose? For me it's tying together myself. My present
  self as it travels through Time must continue to be connected to
  my earlier self [without being constrained by him] and also tied
  to my future self that I am as of yet unaware of, yet not
  constrained by his goals for me to become like the various hims.
  That's one of 'em.
