Dear young friends, when you gaze blankly at the stars in the sky or look strangely at yourself in the mirror, you may have countless questions pop into your mind. "Where did I come from?" "Where is the end of the universe?" The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates once said, "Know thyself," indicating that great philosophers share the same confusion and curiosity as children. Why is it important to "know thyself"? Because only by understanding yourself can you further understand the world. This book guides us in knowing ourselves from four aspects: the origin of humans, human existence, the meaning of human life, and human development. It is hoped that this book can provide helpful assistance to young friends who are growing up and experiencing confusion, in terms of continuously knowing themselves, understanding society, and inspiring their lives.
