“It is the greatest good for an individual to discuss virtue (aka Areté) every day... for the unexamined life is not worth living."
~ Socrates, 5th century bce Greek philosopher from The Apology
Today’s recommended assignments:
1. Discuss virtue (aka Areté) with some friends. How about just a little less pop culture/sports/business/politics/whatever and a little more Areté?!
2. Spend some time "examining" your life. What/who do love the most? What things would you like to create? What would you do if you weren't afraid? ...?
Let’s live an examined life.
…
And don’t forget this wisdom from Dan Millman: “The unlived life is not worth examining.” :)
