Know Thyself - er - Know Others - er - Fantasize Everything

In ancient times knowing yourself was the best way to make sense of the world. Then enlightened society thought that knowing others was more important - and so people stopped knowing themselves and studied the world and others. 

Nowadays most people neither know themselves nor others - instead they know in fine detail their fantasies about themselves and their fantasies about others. Is it then any wonder that they take to the streets when the real world disagrees with their fantasy? That they require safe spaces and people to see them as victims? 

We need to get back to knowing ourselves and, when we do this well enough, we will find out that we are not gods, and that in fact we are in desperate need of a saviour. That while we are greatly valued, we are far less important than we previously supposed. As for others? Whether we know them or not, we must love them - why? Because as bad as we are, God sent his Son to die for us and save us - and He really does know us - warts and all. Truly - know thyself and then turn to God.
