Knowledge of self

......................With no knowledge of the self 

Existence is a mere involuntary phenomenon; A Life Cycle 

With borrowed time to spare 

And that time will be spent in hopeless pursuits of despair..

With the knowledge comes along 

A great deal of peace 

Knowledge of self  is the ultimate learning 

Self awareness is the most enlightening truth 

It is the light that will cast away 

Every ominous dark cloud; no matter what!

I found the above to be true in October 2010. That was the day I searched my past and was able to forgive my own self for things I had done which hurt other people. I always heard to have peace you must first forgive yourself of your wrong doings. I couldn't understand how a person could forgive themselves, but on the October day I figured it all out. Since I was not the same person I had been in those decades I spent searching for the real me, leaving trouble and pain wherever I was. So, since I wasn't the same man I used to be I could rightfully and sincerely forgive that other person.

Awesome Jerry, such an enlightening experience and thank you ever so much for sharing this :) Charity begins at home they say and in your case a very classic example. I have noticed it with myself, the days when I am content within the whole world seems to look nice, look easy and happier..

i agree with this...self-awareness is most important...

what we know about ourselves and how we live with that...much more important than any expectation that can be laid upon us by others.

Thank you Jacob..I can't agree more! So often we are burdened with expectations and it is the root cause of unhappiness..
