Laura Pausini in her song Corazon Roto sings a very interesting line. Translated that line says, "I know who I am even if I've not read Freud." That line is sung with strong conviction, as usual her powerful vocals make everything sound very matter-of-factual in a bittersweet sort of way. Still, one does have to wonder.... I mean, it's not easy to figure others out, but it can be worked on. Figuring oneself out is just, well, it seems impossible. I don't know if it is or not, but it sure is hard. Of other people C. S. Lewis said that we could not study them, but only get to know them. Of ourselves, in relation to God, he said, "Be sure that the ins and outs of your individuality are no mystery to Him; and one day they will no longer be a mystery to you." Letting God get to know us sounds weird. After all, He knows us better than we know ourselves. But in a hard to explain (even harder to understand) way He wants us to allow Him in. He wants us to get to know Him and to allow Him to know us as well.
