Know and accept your limits; you will never be a god.(Adrien Nzayisenga)

The unexamined life is not worth living. But the fully examined life cannot be lived. Don’t take your culture’s mores as infallible; they’re probably inhuman, or, better, inhumane. Truth, justice, and virtue are worth dying for, Socrates believed. Courage is necessary, too, for a good life. Although you can get through the day, you probably don’t know anything of great importance, like does god exist, the nature of friendship, how to govern fairly and effectively, how to live the good life, why you are attracted to beauty, is man immortal, etc. All man can do is search for wisdom, but the search is all-important. Many, though, seek fame and fortune exclusively; and, sadly, that will not change. Life is a great challenge, but you can do no better than to utilize philosophy as your guide.
