Letter Never Sent

Notice how the following statements differ in meaning. This has bothered me.

1. Know thyself. Okay, the classic admonition to know thyself.
2. Know, thyself. A call of responsibility for your own understanding.
3. Know thy self. Consider the nature of self. Awareness of ego is fundamental to understanding.
