To know who you are

To know who you are, what your place in the world is, and that you strive to seek life, is what self-awareness is all about. It is the highest level of human knowledge, to know oneself so intimately that you are not afraid to tell others of life and to help those who need help with compassion without being dragged down by the troubles of those being helped.
