Perhaps what is most important I've learned studying philosophy is that the key, the secret of most things, lies in the simplification. Our feelings, experiences and issues we face in life, to be understood, resolved or at least lived to the fullest, they can - in hindsight - to be simplified, "reasons a little 'about. Simplicity is our friend, but beware, this does not mean eliminating or reducing the nuances and particularities (big mistake, you should not do!), It only means trying to understand what is behind everything from what it all comes to understand the situations and how to behave and let us do as little harm as possible.
It happened to me in recent days I have refreshed a key lesson that all too often we tend, myself first, not to take into account. Socrates advised, "Know thyself " but beyond that it is essential to respect themselves also .
I'm not saying that this is the only law to bear in mind in our everyday life, but certainly this is the first step from which the other must go. Take, for example, even the most important teaching of Christianity, " love your neighbor as yourself " is empty if the first word we are not able to fulfill our true selves.
In those days I saw shattered lives, broken hearts, inner serenity break ... although at first glance may seem disconnected and all other incidents between them, a closer look I realize that all these things, if he had kept in mind the teaching of which I speak, they probably would have created a lot less mess, or perhaps even would have happened ...
