Importance Of Self Knowledge

Self-knowledge is difficult to attain because the human experience is vast, and therefore the experiences that make up human understanding and knowledge are diverse and contradictory. For one small community, many aspects of self-knowledge might look very different from the answers of a large city. This means that for broader, more universal questions it may not even be possible for humanity to attain self-knowledge. For more personal questions of self-knowledge, that knowledge is difficult to obtain because in part of the complexity of the human experience and the nature of change. A human person is constant changing in many ways. These constant changes make attaining perfect self-knowledge a very difficult task. A conclusion that might have

A more human case would be for example, to understand a piece of art, the context of the author’s life, their values, and their character are often fundamentally in interpreting the meaning of the art. When you bring that idea to the setting of understanding divinity, the question becomes infinitely more challenging but equally more important.

A philosopher that previously wondered, “How can man archive satisfaction and fulfillment” might ask “Does God have a purpose for me that will bring me ultimate earthly satisfaction” instead. Understanding God has a profound effect on self-knowledge, both for the broad more universal questions, all the way down to the very personal.
