   Go see an oracle if you want an answer.  That's why the   
   injunction was displayed at the entrance of the oracle's temple.   
      
   I'm sure however, that if you don't understand what "know   
   thyself" means, that whatever the oracle would tell you   
   would be as cryptic as the phrase itself.
