In MN:44 it is said,

If feelings are included in identity forming aggregates why 'thoughts' and 'memories' are not included. Afterall, what I think, like, what I feel, makes my self-identity. To quote Rene Decartus, **'I think therefore I am**'. Isn't the constant chattering of mind generate a sense of self.
Also, memory of things I did have a powerful effect on sense of self.
So, why not included them?
