Everything in the world has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, it is not easy to know your strengths and weaknesses. Otherwise, why has there been a saying since ancient times that "people are expensive and self-aware"?
In fact, this kind of self-knowledge is that discovery can be found. Your own strengths and weaknesses, your own strengths and weaknesses, so that you can decide what to do and what not to do according to your own conditions, and choose your own goals or ideals with rational strategies, and your chances of success are much higher.
Of course, most animals have no self-knowledge, especially when they are young. Some people have never found themselves in their whole lives, and they don't know their own shortcomings or their own advantages. This phenomenon is not surprising, as long as you have serious insight, you can see it everywhere in your life.
For example, the eagle, with its sharp claws, hooked mouth and fierce impact, when it swoops down on the sheep, the sheep have to give in easily under such a powerful opponent. However, when crows watch, the situation is very different. Crows have no eagle's claws, no eagle's beak, no eagle's fierce impact. Therefore, in the eyes of sheep, this is not terrible.
When the crow pounces on the sheep, first of all, the sheep will not panic, and even laugh at it: You mediocre black bird, how dare you touch the ground on my head? It's a toad trying to eat swan meat. At this moment, the sheep, facing the crows from the raid, can achieve the effect of defending the crows confused by interests by ignoring the countermeasures. As a result, the crow not only did not attack the sheep, but became the prey of the shepherd.
The crow failed to attack the sheep because it had no self-knowledge. Crows only see the success of the eagle hunting sheep, but they can't see the unique strengths and advantages of the eagle. Of course, it can't find its own shortcomings and deficiencies. Originally, crows did not have the conditions to hunt sheep, but they had to do this kind of hunting, and the result could only be failure.
In life, the reason for failure is often that the parties have no self-knowledge, neither the mystery of the objective world nor the length of the subjective world. After all, I still don't know myself, just don't know this.
Tragedy and heavy cost are caused in this way.
In short, with self-knowledge, we can see the situation clearly and live a natural and unrestrained life.
