To Introspect, First Must be Introspection

Friedrich Neitzsche's prologue of The Genealogy of Morals is about the fact that humans do not take enough time to introspect and get to know the self.  In the text Neitzsche says, "We are always busy with our knowledge, as if we were born winged creatures—collectors of intellectual honey,"(Neitzsche 1).   This was just a very complicated way to say we are busy as bees, but with a slight twist that the philosopher says that we are too busy with our knowledge.  This becomes an even greater truth every year as information is more and more available.   

After reading The Genealogy of Morals, one truth became evident, that to introspect, first must be introspection.  Knowledge from introspection is very complicated and must be known both a priori and a posteriori.  The first step to cure a bad habit is to admit that the problem is there.  Why would this not apply to not knowing yourself?  How could you find yourself without saying that yourself is not known?  The answer is you can't, if the self society wants is yourself, then you do not know yourself.  The swarms of knowledge from our bee like lifestyles blocks the treasure from us.
