Know Yourself

It is said you should know yourself, that an unexamined life is not worth living, and that the truth shall set you free. The assumption is that you are not going to lie to yourself. When I am sober I see myself as an old, retarded, cripple. When I am drunk I don't see myself at all. How can you tell whether what you tell yourself is lies or truth? How confusing not to know.
