Scribed above the temple of Delphi were these mystical words, the translation of which reads "Know Thyself". What does it mean to know thyself? How can you even get to a place where you don't know who you are? Why, you are you, are you not? Who else could you be? Yet, for some strange reason our planet seems to have a pandemic of internal amnesia. People can easily remember what their names are and where their story is. Yet for some rather odd reason the human race seems to be at a loss for knowing who they are within their own skin. They spend years searching for an identity. They teach their children to "make something of themselves". Are children not themselves the second they are born? And if they must make something of themselves in the future than they must be empty of a self in the present and so fulfill a role to please those who will judge them.

This seems like a lot of pressure put on today's youth and even its adults. Perhaps this is the reason or root for all of the depression, anxiety and all other way-too-common mental disorders passing around these days. What do you think?
