Socrates said, “Know thyself.” But I don’t think he meant this was a task achievable in a lifetime, but rather an act of ongoing discovery. To me, to say you know yourself is to admit you’ve stopped growing as a human being. You haven’t banged your head against enough life problems, been challenged enough by new ideas, put yourself in the shoes of enough others, spent enough quiet time with yourself.
Life is growth. Complacency is death.
