How well do you know yourself?

If you are going to say you know yourself best, you are most probably a long way off.

Characters are tested, developed, changed, improved or deteriorated through situations and time. There are many facets which are not explored or unknown till one is tested.

Imagine a person as a countless faceted diamond. Each situation gives an insight into the strength and type of character, revealing a facet. Each situation gives an insight into the attitude and social beliefs of the character, revealing another facet. Each relationship with a friend is an insight, revealing yet another facet.

There can be basic overall characteristics of a character but not fool proof since it is based on situations.
