Question

What does this quote mean... "A life unexamines is a life not lived?"?

Answer 1

well, simple... if you don't examine your life -- what you've done,  how your are doing, where you are going -- it's as if you're living for nothing!

Answer 2

this may be derived from one of the ancient greek philosophers: an unexamined life is not worth living.

meaning that living without awareness and understanding is not really living as a human being.

Answer 3

It means if you sit on your *** and do nothing your whole life..you wasted a good opportunity and your chance to do things and be somebody.
