sometimes... you'd think you understand a person... but in fact you don't...

you can try to observe... you can try to analyse... you can try to evaluate... but you can't seem to identify the radical self...

society and whatever external factors has shaped you to who you are today... you try desperately to put on a false facade... of what you hope others to think of you...

is it really you? or issit just a masquerade??? Unmasking the real you... who are you ... my dear friend... my closest one...?

The mystery of the hidden self...

As John Calvin tries to sum it up, " There is no deep knowing of God without a deep knowing of self and no deep knowing of self without a deep knowing of God."

There are some things that not even thorough introspection can't shed light on the truth of your self...

For as mentioned in scriptures... " The heart is deceitful above all things" Jeremiah 17:9

Well... before you understand yourself better... albeit it likely a lifelong journey... how'd you go about understanding others??? do you doubt their motives? question their character? embrace their false self? is it hypocritical to be that?

Well... As mentioned in Matthew 7 : 1-5 .. do not judge your brother... embrace each other in love... we can try to identify other people's flaws... but we seemingly have difficulties identifying flaws in ourselves...

Love always trusts, always hope... 1 Cor 13:7

just some thoughts on a book I read... and on how to bring it to understanding others as well....

Lastly... how to find your other half?? haha.. how to know her... ?

haha.. I guess it's difficult... but with prayer and seeking it's possible...

Proverbs 19:14b " but a prudent wife is from the Lord"
