The ancient Greeks were the first ones to say an unexamined life is not worth living. They don't tell you of course what we found out, an examined life not that fascinating either.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.
The unexamined life is not worth living.
We are caught in the contradiction of finding life a rather perplexing puzzle which causes us a lot of misery, and at the same time being dimly aware of the boundless, limitless nature of life. So we begin looking for an answer to the puzzle.
It is the lives we encounter that make life worth living.
If there were no mystery left to explore life would get rather dull, wouldn't it?
Life can be less mysterious than we make it out to be when we try to think about how it would be on other planets. And if we remove the mystery of life, then I think it is a little bit easier for us to think about how we live, and how perhaps we're not as special as we always think we are.
The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.
Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.
If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.
I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
