Know Thyself
To know
yourself is
to
know yourself
physically and to know yourself
mentally. To know yourself is to
understand your
abilities, to understand your
vulnerabilities,
and to know your
limitations. To know
yourself is to know yourself
spiritually. One way to know yourself
is to
know others.
How much
knowledge and
information would
you need to truly and accurately understand yourself? What things would you
measure, and how would you
test yourself?

Nosce te ipsum." The Suda, a 10th-century encyclopedia of Greek
knowledge, says: "the proverb is applied to those whose boasts exceed what
they are", and that "
know
thyself" is a warning to pay no attention to the
opinion of the
multitude.
"Know thyself and thou shall know all the mysteries
of the gods and of the universe", which is a lot easier said than done.
The better people understand themselves, the more easily they can put
themselves in
other
people’s shoes.
