Know thyself
The maxim knowthyself
This is an ancient Greek maxim engraved at the entrance to the Temple of Apollon.
Who left this maxim? It is said that it is not known exactly.
However, there are several people who are said to have left this maxim.
Among them, "Socrates", who is famous as Plato's teacher, and "Pythagoras", a philosopher who left behind the words "everything is a number", are famous.
Meaning of this word
This word is generally as follows
"Know what you are"
"Narcissists who do not speak their position"
It tends to be taken as a negative meaning.
However, in the West, we sometimes give this word for "the happiness and profit of the other party".
The original meaning can be said to be "words of happiness sent for the other person" that are conscious of altruism.
To the last, it is limited to "between educated people who have a moral idea".
Take risks and for the other person
Therefore, this maxim has a positive meaning only among educated people with noble ideas.
At first glance, it seems unlikely that you will dare to use the word "knowthyself," which is misleading, even at the risk of being disliked.
However, in the West, the word "knowthy self" is used on a daily basis.
"For your well-being, tell the truth, even if you take unnecessary risks."
We sincerely trust the other person and sincerely hope to be able to give this word "knowthyself".
