The nature of your identity

My fundamental identity that exists beyond this lifetime does not change.
My identity in this life is relatively fixed. I'm male, have a certain intelligence, break out in sweats if I eat mildly spicy food, like science fiction etc.
My identity day-by-day varies. For example, one day I might like a banana but the next day I'm not interested in bananas. Over time my identity as defined by preferences do change. I now like Indian food which would never have touched when I was young.

Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
A little bit of both. I do seem to have a core personality that doesn't change. But it is amazing how my politics and stuff have all gone through revolutions in my 60 years of existence.
It's changing. In general, it changes more slowly than some people's, but it seems clear that it does change.
I'd go with a mostly stable core that has eruptions and contractions occasionally - like a controlled plasma field - but who is at the controls?
