We are haunted by the ghosts of our past selves. It follows from this, then, that this very moment, every "this very moment", we act as the dying, as those who will soon haunt our own futures selves.
The vehicles of this haunting are the memories of others and ourselves. Our only chance for escape from the ghosts of our past selves, then, is to leave the world of humans and to live in such stasis until our memories of our previous lives amongst humans have faded into oblivion.
To live any other way, to live amongst humans, to live with people, is to deliver our future selves over to the ghosts of our past selves for all eternity.
