About Me

If I were to tell you everything about me, there would be a couple of conflicts.
First off, your knowledge would be tainted by my own bias. What I mean is this: If I were to tell you something about myself, it would be in respect to myself. I would be telling you, not an exact quality about myself, though that may be part of it, but... I would be telling you my opinion about that certain quality. As a result, any and all knowledge that you may gain about me, from me, would be tainted with my own, personal, rather self-degrading bias.
Secondly, if I were to tell you everything about me, then what would be the point in learning? You wouldn't honestly be learing, you would be told. Learning is, more or less, derived from experience. I ask you this: This piece of metal is hot.. then you may or may not learn that the said piece of metal is hot; however, were you to touch a "fiery" piece of metal, then you would automatically learn that it was hot... unless, of course, you lack the necessary nerves and/or processes to both feel and react to pain, in this case, the pain caused by touching a hot piece of metal.
Regardless... it is better to learn from experience, than to be told. What I mean is this: It would be better for you to learn about me by either spending time with me, or, at least, carrying on some sort of intellectual, engaging conversation with me.
