" KNOWING ONESELF " FROM MY ROOF GARDEN, MY PHOTO,

Each one of us is three things:
What he thinks he is
What others thinks he is
And
What he really is.
What one thinks he is, certainly he is not,
for
he doesn't have knowledge of his real self.
What others think that he is, by all means he is not,
for
others suffer from double ignorance:
They ignore who they are in the first place, fact which
renders it impossible to know others,
therefore
one's self is unknown to both in different degrees
but
it is known only to God
thus
for to know oneself one has to know God
but
to know God one has to know himself!
Confused ?
Join the club!
I am here waiting for fellow ignorant!
