The Importance of Self-Knowledge

Self-knowledge serves as a critical foundation for personal peace and resilience. When individuals understand themselves, external opinions, whether positive or negative, become less impactful on their sense of self-worth. This mastery over one’s identity fosters a sense of calmness, enabling a person to maintain peace regardless of external circumstances. Knowledge of oneself reinforces the idea that confidence does not depend on others' compliments or judgments.
