“A life in which there is substantial change and diversity may, if the diverse elements of the psychology are held together by strands of desire and intention, be unified in a deeper and richer way than a life in which one's character remains largely static.” —McMahan

Meant to show how you can have a unified life if that life is marked by growth in character (since you change, you’re disconnected from your past). The thought is your better self is connected to your past self by the fulfillment of that past self’s desire to be better.
