“The unexamined life is not worth living”
— Socrates

Simplified Meaning:
Living without thinking about what you are doing or why you are doing it can make life meaningless. Imagine going on a road trip and never checking your map; you might end up lost, missing out on important places you wanted to visit. Similarly, in life, if you never reflect on your actions, choices, or goals, you might miss the chance to grow or improve. Taking time to think about your life, your values, and your decisions helps you understand yourself better and can lead to greater happiness. For example, if you often get into arguments with friends, examining why this happens can help you improve your relationships and make you a better friend. In short, thinking about your life helps you live more fully and make better choices.
