Self-Awareness A Blessing And a Curse

Self-Awareness is like a hole that you dig in your mind. Some have dug deeper, and are more self-aware, than others. You can be aware of some things while being blind to others. Some people believe themselves to be self-aware when they're not.

To be self-aware is both a blessing and a curse...

There is joy in seeing what others cannot as well as frustration in knowing that there's nothing you can do to make them understand because their minds simply can't comprehend it - the "hole" isn't big enough for the observation to fit into. If you keep pushing, if you keep trying to make them understand, you'll be branded as an odd or arrogant fellow.

The curse is going through life seeing the lies and not being able to tell anyone about it. Those that are aware, of course, can act appropriately.
