Reminding oneself about things like this is an indication that these are things one needs to be reminded of... acknowledging weaknesses, but having them as well. I could think of a few things that I should be reminding myself of, but, for example "thou shall not steal" isn't one of them. Going out shoplifting isn't something that even occurs to me, but some people might need that. >lead a life contrary to their lessons My point being, writing a message like this to yourself is a strong indication of self-knowledge. These are the lessons I need to learn, the things I need to be reminded of. This wasn't someone preaching all of these things to others, but privately reminding themselves. The general in a triumph needs the memento mori.
