"The only thing I know is that I know nothing"
- Socrates

This quote can be used to answer almost every question you are asked. In this case, there are so many ways to see ourselves and so many contexts in which we see ourselves that it is impossible to know us completely. There are two terms in which I believe you can know yourself up to a certain extent:

Physically: Knowing yourself physically is one of the most basic parts of knowing ourselves. You see your own body everyday when you look down or up into the mirror. You know your body better than anyone else and you are able to create an idea of yourself physically through your experience with it. Our views of our physical appearance may be biased as we may see ourselves as “better” or “worse” than the ways other people see us. But still, no one can really understand how you really are physically more than yourself. For example, when I was younger, I used to have a small mole in my back that no one else knew about. I was one of the only people who knew about it due to that it made me feel uncomfortable. This shows how even though people know me physically, they are unaware of some aspects of myself that only I am aware of.

Spiritually: Knowing yourself spiritually accounts to your inner self, personality, and feelings. In this case, there is no one who is better aware of this unlike yourself. In my case, there are many aspects people are unaware of and even though they may think they know about my spiritual self, I know myself even better. Even though people know their own feelings, it is hard to really know the small details that fall behind personalities and feelings. There may be days when you feel sad with no major reason and you can’t really understand yourself. Therefore, even though we may think we know ourselves spiritually, there is a certain point in which no one can really know the deepest parts of ourselves.

If I could describe myself in one word I would say I am balanced. Throughout my life I’ve been able to balance my personal, social, academic, and sports life in a very good way. But, could I really describe myself? Describing someone else is very easy. You are able to see them and interpret everything they do easily. I am a very visual person and therefore can notice many little details from others. But I am not really able to see myself and I can’t really give a reliable description of me. In addition, I would give a pretty biased description which may exaggerate some of my features as I am pretty optimistic. Other people may see me in a completely different way. They have a lot more unbiased opinion in comparison to myself and may see me completely, unlike myself. Therefore, I would rely more on someone’s opinion about me rather than my own opinion.

In order to see myself, I need to look at the ocean and see my shadow. There, I see myself as a regular human in the world, because everyone has almost the same shadow.
