The Examined Life

Who would have thought 

in 466 BCE, a Greek 

philosopher named 

Socrates would muse: 

“The unexamined life 

is not worth living.”

 

How poignant. How true.

 

How timely. How relevant.

 

Self-reflection helps us 

assess our behaviors.

 

Because when we examine 

our condition + scan 

who we are, we can 

review what we lack.

 

We can “check ourselves 

before we wreck ourselves” 

or others.

 

We can make the changes 

that are necessary in 

order to become better 

than we are.

 

Only then will our 

examined life bear fruit.

Your thoughts?

 

I value you + your views, 

so let’s communicate!
