347- Socrates taught that an un-examined life is not worth living. Our reality is experienced through past moments, and each subsequent moment is the result of past causality. Our beliefs are what inform our actions and change the future. To safeguard our beliefs, we must ensure that knowledge comes from a well-aligned view of reality. Since, our existence is driven by our beliefs, which depend on the information we have, the validity of our existence hinges on the truthfulness of what we know.
Death should be a stark reminder that everything eventually returns to dust, yet, causality may be eternal, making a single life able to profoundly alter the future.
Thus our lives have eternal significance, with our actions echoing through time rather than merely turning to dust. In an infinite universe, each action serves as a fulcrum to an infinite future, making us God-like creators, and stewards of what is to come.
We have one life and one chance to live virtuously, so please lead a principled and meaningful existence.
