Is the unexamined life worth living? Many people would say it's not. Some people have this crazy belief that every aspect of one’s' life is supposed to be planned from start to finish. And if it's not then it is labeled the unexamined life , therefore it is not worth living. (According to these individuals of course).
I believe that any and every life unexamined or not is worth living. The big guy put everyone on this earth for a certain reason, whether they choose to fulfill the big guys plan and make something of themselves is their decision.
I have examined my life plenty of times. I often find myself reflecting on my life, asking myself questions such as “what is my purpose in this world?" "Who am I?" "Is me telling others that my name is Dominique sufficient?"
I feel that the examination of one’s life is very important. Everyone should, at one point in their life, sit down and think about their past, what’s going on in their life now, and what’s to come in the future for them. As a young adult growing up in today’s society I see a lot. I have two cousins, one is name Marcel and one is named Jessica. Jessica is a sensitive and very attractive woman that has realized that a series of(and I quote) “aint SH*T” relationships that was doomed from the begging has consumed most of her life, most likely ruining her chances of ever getting married and finding that special person. She is now in her late 30’s. On the other hand Marcel, a caring and hardworking man found that special person, settled down and started a family but he starting ignoring his family, this went on for years and he found himself depressed, and living alone.
I just think that if Marcel and Jessica would have just sat down and examined what was going on in their lives they could have made the necessary changes and had different experiences in relationships.
