Italian Renaissance despot Cesare Borgia (yes, Lucretia's brother and... what else!) is said to have wondered: "What kind of man am I?" Intriguing question, isn't it? We dont' know what conclusion HE reached, if he did, about his own crimes. Did he feel guilty? Was he proud? Did he find his behavior rewarding, amusing, fulfilling? What about us? Do we ever wonder what kind of people WE are? Do you dare to examine your motivations, do you take the time to at least try to understand why you do certain things, behave in a certain way? As nothing happens by chance, so nothing we do is done without a deeper, mostly hidden reason. Knowing ourselves implies finding out these reasons.
