RE: How much do we know ourselves and why we do what we do?
I think we best know ourselves when we truly understand the fact that intuition runs deeper in our brains than actual truth. You could go on and tell a person a million times that they are wrong and with valid reasoning and they still wouldn't believe it.
Wisdom is different. Wisdom is surpassing your intuition and doing the right thing even if it is at your own expense.
Truth is the foundation, with logic. Intuition is unconscious logic, while reason is conscious logic ;) The goal is always to reveal truth, but sometimes our desires and wants get in the way to direct us towards untruth because we want it to be so when it isn't so.
