The Key

i know the answer and i know it not. i know nothing and i know everything.
the key, the answer you are seeking, is - yourself.
that is the most important thing. the major thing. the mover of all things.
how do i mean this? for example, you, as everyone is facing a multitude of problems in life. you will never solve them - until you make peace with yourself. accept yourself, and further yourself. love yourself.
you will fail the most profane tasks in life if you are in a fight with yourself (in fact, many people who are in disarray with their selves - for example while being heartbroken - will even fail to go out regularly and socialize, or eat enough). when you are whole, when you are in touch with yourself, you can excel at the most complicate and intricate tasks.
or, the struggle of common life doesn't interest you as much, at least not on the everyday level. and you seek wisdom,
the answers, a purpose, a goal in life. again, you can only find this - and you will find this - if you get in touch with yourself.
the self is the key to anything.
of course, so far almost any social, religious, political structure - the church, the state, capitalism tells you to *get rid* of yourself. in fact this is the very basis of all social structures that existed so far. it lies at the beginning of religion; in any major religion its priests or monks will tell you that the way is to abandon yourself, to grow over yourself, to learn to get rid of it. then you will find peace and enlightenment.
but this is wrong. it is exactly the other way round. if you move closer to yourself, then you can move ahead.
so further yourself. support yourself. explore yourself. get to know yourself. get in contact with your self.
love your self.
