    wonderful question... I ask myself this almost everyday. I think that the older i become (Im 44) the more i realise that i only know certain aspects of myself, for example what tastes I have in food etc but as I am studying at TAFE and having to do a lot of research on human relations in the workplace and things like that, Im constantly asking myself "why". "Why I have the opinions i have, what makes me judge certain situations etc." so at this stage I hope Im only half way through this journey we call "life". I sure have sooo much more to learn about myself and others.

    By watching yourself, and understanding yourself.

    Should be simple huh ?

    Why isn't it that simple ... life would be boring if it were just 'simple' .... it is simple at the source, but it is filled with infinite possibilities and that's really neat.

    Be you .. and always respect the other yous' around you.

    If you really want to understand You have to understand that everyone else is you too.

    I know this is the dating and whatever site but I liked your question.

    Take some potent halucinogenics and spend a week in the desert chatting to the spirits of shamans in caves while having visions of your own future death. Good way to know yourself.

    By looking in the core of your heart and finding the good, the forgiveness and place where you find peace. Meditation helps.

    Very, very well. Don't ask me how I've reached this point, but I have. I guess great things come out of self-absorption.

    You learn by growing up.

    You learn by not expecting people to figure it out for you.

    Experiment, listen, learn. Don't be dependent on other people to determine your mood or your personality. Be happy because you want to be happy.
