Quote by Plato

The life which is unexamined is not worth living.

The life which is unexamined is not worth living.

Summary

This quote, attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, highlights the importance of introspection and self-reflection in leading a meaningful life. Socrates believed that a person who fails to question and evaluate their beliefs, actions, and values is merely going through the motions, lacking true understanding and purpose. By examining one's thoughts, choices, and experiences, individuals can gain self-awareness, knowledge, and growth. Consequently, this quote encourages others to engage in constant self-reflection as a means to discover personal truths, lead a fulfilling existence, and constantly seek improvement.
