The most awkward fact in all this doubt is this: remembering, which occurs now, at this split second, does not prove that what is being remembered actually occurred at some other time. I may be convinced that it did, especially if a number of others, the more the better, are convinced too. When I am alone, and the experience, the emotion , the event, was mine and mine alone, how can I say for certain that I have not invented the entire episode, including the faithful memory of it?
It could be that this record set before you now is a fiction.
