How hungrily we read about ourselves!

They say that to know oneself is to know all there is that is human. But of course no one can ever know himself. Nothing human is fully calculable; even to ourselves we are strange.

No one can ever love us quite so much as we love ourselves.

Heroes must see to their own fame. No one else will.

لكي تصبح سعيدا، عليك ألا تعبأ كثيرا بالآخرين

The motivation of transparency is important. The culture teaches people to be candid and blunt, but this usually revolves around self-centeredness – you have a right to express your true feelings and your rage. This is an entitlement. Instead, the Christian way to approach transparency is to realize out candidness should be motivated by a desire to have a pure heart before God and others.
