Why should you live an examined life? Why should you live your best life?
To arrive, to uncover, to know, to acknowledge your truth.
Not asking questions about how you’re living your life means that you are living someone else’s truth.
Paraphrasing Plato’s paradox, either we already know what our truth is and don’t need to look for it, or we don’t know what we’re looking for and therefore wouldn’t recognize it if we found it.
I suspect that most of us don’t know what our truth is because its uncovering requires, as Plato states, a ‘recollection’ of our eternal reality.
What the hell am I talking about?
Finding your truth is about living your life connected to the spirit at the core of your being -- the eternal thing inside all of us that existed before we were born and will continue to exist after we die.
The more we are able to live connected to this spirit, the closer we come to our moral duty to live our best life and to know our truth.
