I don't think we can know ourselves until we have have visited our limits. I'm not just talking about extreme sports, though I think that for some they would help. What do you do when you're completely alone? What do you do in the midst of large crowd? Are your morals dictated by the surveillance of those in authority, the people you find yourself with or are they determined by something else? What is you comfort zone?
I believe that I know myself, at least today. Tomorrow may bring knowledge, joy, bitterness and experience that will be woven into who I am, and it may change me somewhat. Therefore, to know one's self is a constant awareness, something that is difficult to do while simply seeking ease and contentment.
