know thyself

When others are to blame, that means you haven’t researched yourself in depth ~

A superior man understands others, an average man understands himself, an inferior man justifies himself ~

A superior man sees his actions onto others and observes the reflection on the magic mirror;
An average man sees his actions onto others but fails to observe the reflection on the magic mirror;
An inferior man sees only other's reactions and justifies himself ~

A superior man listens to others;
An average man doesn't listen to others;
An inferior man speaks without even listening himself ~

An inferior man speaks;
An average man listens;
A superior man senses, because he has listened and he speaks with silence ~

An inferior man lives;
An average man lives and becomes;
A superior man transcends life by conquering death* ~
*which is the actual beginning

An inferior man fears life;
An average man fears death;
A superior man knows that death is the Gateway ~

An inferior man sees only himself;
An average man sees himself separate from others;
A superior man sees others as himself ~

An inferior man perceives the droplet of change;
An average man dreams a sea of opportunities;
A superior man becomes the ocean wave ~

An inferior man knows no mysteries;
An average man dies seeking the mysteries;
A superior man is a mystery himself ~

An inferior man sees the beginning;
An average man perceives the end;
A superior man perceives the flow ~
