know thyself
if you think that
you know yourself
then it means you
stopped learning.
why would you want
to do that?
i hear people say
'know thyself'
and it makes me
feel a bit
squeamish,
and uncomfortable.
not because i am
uncomfortable
with myself, but
because the thought
of knowing
everything there is
to know is sort of
a ridiculous one.
no one knows
everything
there is to know,
not even about
themselves. but
when you are dead
i imagine you might
know everything
about yourself
that ever was,
wouldn't you
think?
yeah,
i used to
think that i
knew myself,
too. don't
worry.it goes
away when
you wake up.
maybe set
the alarm.
then you can
live a more
full life.
have a good
one, whatever.

Hopefully this will change for future generations and one day all human beings can arrive at their true potential authentically. As far as getting what we deserve, I have yet to finish pondering on what 'deserve' means. I have learned so far it does not mean the same thing as 'karma', nor does it have the equivalent of 'worthy', like many seem to believe. Just what is 'deserve'? I am still learning. Thank you for your kind words.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
