Hello friends!
It was Socrates who said it about two and a half millenia ago - know thyself. It is interesting that the words of any wise man, when taken out of context, can take on a life of themselves. In this case also we are free to interpret the words of the great Greek philosopher in whichever way we want and this is what I am going to do. In my opinion know thyself means to get in touch with one's supreme nature. This nature isn't something unique. It is what is common among all of us and what connects us. Therefore, through getting to know ourselves we can get to know others as well, and thus reach a closer understanding of the whole world. Pretty neat, isn't it? I personally like this concept. Through getting to know myself I am also getting to know you. So here we go for another day of getting to know our world!
