    Self-Knowledge
    (Tangaza University College, 2011) M'boua, Philippe, B. Degni
    The self is a concept which defines what is most personal and unique about an individual. The self includes the body, mind, and spirit; abilities and limitations; and repressed and remembered experience both positive and negative, bodily experience, relational experience, cultural experience, religious experience. I think there is a great need to know and to accept ourselves just as we are. Those of us with power and social standing have subtle ways of hiding our inner handicaps, our difficulties in relationships, our inner darkness and violence, our depression and lack of self-confidence. When all is well we may fall into conceit or pride; when there are difficulties or failures, we can fall into self-depreciation and depression.
