As far as I know, every human being who has been living here on earth has asked themselves questions like this, what do I live for? What is the purpose of my life? Has my life worth living or not? At most these questions have also been mingling through the thoughts of the people who have experienced the “near death experience” who had been given a second chance to live .But no doubt neither do I, have asked the same questions within myself.
As I accept wisdom and deliberate my thoughts what life and its purpose is all about, I pray and discerned. And this is what I have in reflection. To find what life and its purpose is all about, one has to examine himself before others on hand. Examining oneself is indeed a great start to know what life is and its purpose since it us who knows the within us. It is good to know if we could define ourselves, coping up to the progressing living world. If the things we do are true it can and will bind us with the satisfaction of happiness. If one blinds himself of not knowing how to live, he blindly just do life in routine or what is dictated to him (similar to a robot), you let others maneuver your life. Unexamined one does not even know how to repent or correct his mistakes. He just goes with the flaw and suddenly feels frustration and burden. Hence, even an optimistic disposition in life can greatly motivate and affect our way of comprehending things. When something frustrates or burden us, having an optimistic attitude can somehow ease us and turn us to being satisfied. Concisely, it is how a person foresees a rainbow after a heavy storm.
When one needs to seek then it’s a struggle of finding something. Continually seeking what life is about makes one encounter a lot of answers and in the end we know that the best awaits us. Similar to having a relationship, in our adolescent age, one cannot simply deny the fact that we seek acceptance. We get involve in being infatuated on young love. We commit in risking knowing if that individual is meant for us or not. But not all takes everything in one chance of winning. So then we rise up again with our gathered strength and try again. Despite of the hurts and pains we are aware to encounter, it couldn’t stop us of seeking what best awaits us. It was proven in my life, that life is not smooth sailing. We need to undergo challenges that could shape out the best character within us.
It is not only ourselves we need to examine but even our society which includes the people who we have interacted with and will being interacting with. Indeed our society can somehow affect our way of thinking. Without our society, we alone cannot define our stand here on life. Certainly, man cannot separate himself from others; he cannot survive on his own or commonly known as, no man is an island.
In conclusion, “Unexamined life is not worth living” if we don’t know how to examine ourselves and our society. Examining not only helps us find happiness but we even gain knowledge. If one knows how to examine his life, he has reasons to struggle, seek and wake up each morning for what life has to offer. He can make it through with any endeavors, his wearies and burdens. He has something to live for. Thus life must be lived and loved for it is given only to us in one chance. No one knows when our lives will end but while we still have it, it is within us to make the most of what life has to offer.
