The pursuit of Knowledge is constant. So, although Philosophy within the centuries has replied in even to the most integral human-concerned queries, and the act of travelling among the upper paths of meditation of the intelligentsia who lived before our times, is beyond the limit of excitement and atonement, nowadays the sciences of Biology and Psychology accompanied with their verified statistics, come to corroborate the theory according to which our behaviour depends even up to 50% on our genetic identity and up to 50% or more on the influences we receive from our surroundings. Moreover, the major influence is exerted during our infancy or childhood, which is filed in our subconscious and it is subsequently manifested in all of our behavioural reactions.
This kind of knowledge is considered as a tremendous asset in the hands of those who possess it, since it is remarkably helpful in identifying themselves (self-awareness), which is an indispensable prerequisite not only for the conduct of a sentient life, which is both meaningful and joyful, but also for the creation and maintenance of bonds with the significant people of their life.
