Nosce te ipsum (Know Thyself)

Boy:  Do not try and bend the spoon.  That's impossible.  Instead only try to realize the truth.

Neo:  What truth?

Boy:  There is no spoon.

Neo:  There is no spoon?

Boy:  Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends.  It is only yourself.

Once a while, I crank on The Matrix and get a dose of reality adjustment.  It is one of my all-time movie favorites.

Know thyself.  It will help you to knowing others.  It is also the first step on the road to mastery over self...which essentially is the same as mastery over your own world.
