The Unexamined Life is Still Worth Living

     People always think that no matter what, they can never be truly satisfied or happy.  They must always have something more than they already have.  In the viewpoint of some, life must be always used for a purpose.  But is life which is spent simply living not also life?  Acceptance that life will not always fulfill your wants is important to know.  Why question something that you yourself only have the answer to?  If you cannot think of a purpose for which you live your life, think of the reasons you were given life in the first place. 
     The parents, who had you, were (hopefully) in such a state of happiness as to want to bring another into the world to experience it.  If you can keep looking forward, to try and achieve and find the feelings that they had at one point.  Their views towards life were so great at one point.  You don’t need to question why you are alive, but rather what you will do with your newfound glorious life. 
     Why would anyone need to question their life?  Well, I’m not going to say that it I am completely unable to relate.  Some people have doubts in their life, and are unable to go through anything without having to rely on something.  Life is made, simply for the purpose of living.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with telling yourself that it’s fine, just to be the way you are, and to live the way that you live.  As long as you can be happy in life, how it’s done doesn’t need to be questioned.

  1. Good. I thought you expanded on your point very convincingly.

    Grammatical error: The second sentence of the last paragraph does not need the word "it".
