It is not when you are among people that you understand yourself.
It is not when you are interacting with people that you understand yourself.
It is not when you are sharing your space with people that you understand yourself.
On the contrary,
It is when your space is only occupied by you that you understand yourself.
It is when you dedicate all your time to yourself that you understand yourself.
It is when you shut out the entire world that you understand yourself.
It is when the only person you are interacting with is yourself that you understand yourself.
You might not agree with this.
I myself did not agree with this, until I took the time to really understand myself.
I found out that whatever image I had about myself wasn’t really, I’m not gonna say true, it wasn’t really clear.
Now after devoting all my time to myself.
After concentrating all my efforts on improving myself.
After paying no attention to what people do or say to affect who I really am.
I understand myself better.
I see myself better.
I value myself better.

I am really enjoying this book. So I wanted to share this part with you. It is such a great pleasure to find such a fine book that you can indulge in for days.
In you Hate was always stronger than Love. Your hatred of your father was of such stature that it entirely outstripped, o’erthrew and overshadowed your love of me. There was no struggle between them at all, or but little; of such dimensions was your Hatred and of such monstrous growth. You did not realise that there is no room for both passions in the same soul. They cannot live together in that fair carven house. Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are: by which we can see Life as a whole: by which, and by which alone, we can understand others in their real as in their ideal relations. Only what is fine and finely conceived can feed Love. But anything will feed Hate. There was not a glass of champagne you drank, not a rich dish you ate of in all those years, that did not feed your Hate and make it fat.
- De Profundis,
Oscar Wilde.
