An Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living

From what we have learned from Socrates, we know that an unexamined life is not worth living. By this Socrate means that if we live our lives without analyzing what is around us then we will not truly being living and life not worthing living is something truly sad. All people should examine their lives and not just go day to day without the concept of time or space even coming into the equation. As a society we should should always examine life, because what do we know is true and what do we know is not? And what about ourselves is true and what is not? the only way to answer this it to really reflect on ourselves and to try to realize what really lays behind what we see on a daily basis, why do we do the things we do? Why do others act the way they do in accordance to our actions? These are all questions to ask ourselves and if we do so we are no longer living an unexamined life and we live the way Socrates tried to teach people.
