Short Passage on 'Knowing Oneself'

Knowing who we are within and our inner selves, gives us scope to know eye-to-eye everyone else.

In doing so, we are given an opportunity to promote self-esteem and self-assurance to those less fortunate and less able than ourselves.

The world is sometimes cast in shadow, destroying Hope, Love, and God.  Yet people rise above the effects of feeling small, and counter-act the turmoil in the world and anguish in their heart.

We can be left with misery due to tragic events or incidents which affect us spiritually. The spirit is weakened by forces out of our control, so it is up to us to regain control of our principles of moral virtue, and overcome pain.

Pain and confusion wreak havoc on the body, mind and soul. It puts us into a spell of wasteful energy and a negative attitude takes over.  Negativity results in cynicism and worry leaves the 'cup of virtue' within us to run dry. Prosperity and happiness, must fill the 'cup of virtue' within us, from which we source our true emotions, and once again we can feel better about who we are as individuals. 

The fragility of the body and mind means we must attempt to diminish the overbearing burden troubling us, or forcing us into a state our inner selves very much choose to repel.  We are living organisms (people) with a biological construct designed to withstand pressure and pain, but we all have a breaking point, which we must identify and stop by understanding and knowing the real reasons. It is this which makes us human, and our ability to overcome what breaks us is even more symbolic of our human selves, it signifies the real human extent of virtue over suffering by knowing oneself. 

Setting aside our differences enables us to view our similarities more easily so we may grow stronger together than grow weaker separate and apart.
