I don't think I do, I surprise myself quite a lot as i'm sure a lot of people do haha
Maybe you're right but i'm struggling to fully understand how knowing myself more would change my knowledge of the lives of those around me. Regardless of how many times i'm told about what my family were like before me it is still coming through a mind filtered by the social role in place, and also filtered by the passing of time. There are so many different complexities to their person, and so many different variables impacting the way they try to show me who they were before me, if they try to show me at all, that I will never get the full picture.
They will forget, they will filter and change, they will remember things differently, and they will no doubt leave parts out entirely.
