Good point. There are many aspects to identity. Karl and Kay are still very much the same person to me. I had a Jewish childhood friend who became an evangelical Christian. I saw her a year or so after her conversion and discovered she was very much the same person and still is. She did not try to convert me - we met very much as old friends. The novel Earthly Possessions is a good read, and the Selinda story could be a metaphor for the central character's whole life. In this book, a woman decides to leave her husband. She is in the bank about to take out her life savings, when she is taken hostage by a bank robber who takes her across the country.
