We sometimes see in a man who is experienced in literature the unusual ability to distance himself from himself in order to analyze himself, in other words, to see himself in third person, imagining himself as a character in a novel, not idealizing his own life, but seeing himself as someone who decides and reaps the rewards of his own decisions. If he wants to idealize his own life too, then he will be able to measure how close or far he is from what he intends to be. In both cases, above all, he gets to know himself on a level that, without in-depth knowledge of the dynamics of biographies, is very difficult to achieve.
