In line with my reflection on kairos, which concluded on the necessary effort with which to strive towards introspective and in-depth knowledge of oneself, it is now logical that we take on board this maxim as famous as it is misunderstood: "know thyself", Γνῶθι σεαυτόν.

Here, Pittakos of Mytilene seems to urge us to discern kairos, to learn to know it. It would therefore be, not only a natural gift, an innate talent, a brilliant intuition, but also a quality to be acquired.
