Self-consciousness is something quite different from self- knowledge. The self-conscious one is never conscious of his real self; he is only conscious of the reflection he receives from others. "Does this person hate me?" "Does that person speak against me?" That is the thought of the self-conscious. If it is not that then he pities himself: "I am poor," "I am so wretched," "I am so miserable." |
