The Unexamined Life holds the security of ignorance, and of self-worth. If people are content with the purpose of their life then let them be. And really, they must be content to not have already examined the life they are living. And if they are content with their life then it is a life worth living. Many search for something else, and endlessly look until they have in the end lived a discontent life. Being ignorant of your own state in life can be blissful. Not comparing one's self with others causes a higher self esteem. What would the world be like if everyone actually felt some sort of self-worth, if everyone had a healthy dose of confidence? Life in general would be worth more to the population. People would have more of a value. The Unexamined life just may be worth living if we weren't all too busy examining the lives of others.
I disagree with your opinion but I can definitely understand your point of view and how you can side with the fact that the unexamined life is worth living. I like your idea of self worth is tied to an unexamined life and I like your concluding sentence.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think that you can still be happy even if you don't examine your life. If you are happy with your life then why change it?
