So this isn't going to be totally organized. I was visiting with a friend today about a recently engaged couple. One of the partners didn't know some pretty important things about the other one... one of those things that could be a "breaker". So I thought how do you know that you really know someone. How do you know everything isn't a charade? And on that note, how do you really get to know yourself? And if you don't know yourself is it possible others to know you better than you know yourself?
I personally believe in seeing the best in people. Life without Hope would be dreadful. I always hope that I can find the best in people and that those qualities represent them the best. But everyone has their secrets and some peoples are worse than others. So I guess what I am saying is that I try to find and know the best part of people and I just hope that that represents them the best.
I think that it is possible for others to sometimes know us better than we know ourselves. Have you ever had someone point out one of your tendencies and you had no idea it existed? Then, after they told you, you noticed it every time you did it, and it was a lot? I hate when that happens. Getting to know ourselves is one of the trickiest projects to tackle in our lives because it's never ending. We are constantly changing and evolving so there is always something new to discover about ourselves.
So I guess to answer all my questions is that through time and careful thought you can come to know someone very well and trust them. Also it is healthy to spend time getting to ourselves better because after all we should know who is representing us right?
