In reply to What does it mean when 'you know yourself'?, posted by Meri-Tuuli on December 17, 2006, at 12:56:37
I don't know. I don't think we can ever really "know" ourselves because we are constantly evolving as individuals. I think throughout our lives, we are constantly finding things out about ourselves, though new experiences and connections with others. I think we can come to better understand ourselves and the things that have shaped, both positively and negatively, our personalities and our lives, but to truly know ourselves, I think, would be an exercise in futility and, perhaps, a bit boring.
Probably doesn't make any sense at all.
