We do not know as much as we

We do not know as much as we assume, even about ourselves we would have to ask those who know us well.

If you ask a child what childhood is certainly something we will respond to not get frustrated, but we hardly given a very coherent answer. However, if an adult asked what childhood is, surely we will respond with a conceptualization of their own childhood memories.

From these facts more or less observable, we could deduce that things look better from the outside than from within.

We find many reasons to believe that this is true. For optimal distance need a suitable viewpoint. Being in the situation is often not the best place, and not be too far away it is.

This minimum observation that adults could say we do not know what is an adult and we have no one to ask because after adulthood hardly have a higher stage, while recognizing that some lucid elderly could exercise that role, ie would able to know what is an adult but would not know what the old saying.

If we envalentonamos with these thoughts and go a little further, we would have to accept that the only ones who do not know who we are ourselves.

Should someone asked point blank "Who are you?" Could only stammer the full name, identity card number and some other information of those who fill the official forms. If the questioner insisted, would have to get the answer by consulting someone we know: parents, siblings, spouse, children, custodian.

Something that seems clear is that I'm obsessed with pride. So every little segregated an article to substantiate that humans do not know as much as we think.

Note: Original in Spanish (without translation by Google):  No sabemos tanto como creemos.
