Knowing Thyself

One would think, that if you live in a house, you would get to know every single nook and cranny of the house. It would be foolish to just live in one room of the house closest to the door without opening the other doors.

Yet people do this with their minds. They do not explore the depths and recesses of their minds. They do not know themselves inside out. Rather, they seek external distractions without thinking deeply.

Doing this is like living in one room of a house closest to the door. Every time that you want to do something, you run outside to look for something to do.

Knowing yourself means exploring every room in your mind, and thinking for yourself.
