An Unexamined life is not worth living
Unexamined means that you haven’t know things you want to figure out. For
me, the phrase “unexamined life is not worth living means that an individual must
know the true beauty of life and what is his/her purpose of being born in this world
because without knowing it, his/her life would be worthless. Living without the
knowledge of his/her purpose is pointless. It is a must that every one of us should
have a goal in life. Having an ambition in life is step in making one’s life worth
living.
Our lives are molded through trials and challenges we are facing. Those
trials and challenges are the test which examined our courage. Without those in our
lives is somehow useless, because without challenges we couldn’t know how
strong we are. And as a matter of fact those things are the reasons behind why
there’s a lot of person who claim their own fame. The essence of life is about it
better to endure the hardship to pursue our dreams no matter what you are
intelligent one you will encountered the shortcomings and this challenges may lead
to a strong enough.
These challenges will help us to be a better us. It will mold us to be a better
being. Making us stronger and be able to face more obstacle even the hardest ones.
It will be a test for us on how far we will be able to surpass these challenges on our
lives. It will also help us to gain confidence and gain knowledge on how we will
face our future challenges or obstacle in life.
