I agree fully. It's the Spiritual principle behind self-examination and the Sacrament of Confession/Absolution. I think it's more that agreeable....I find it absolutely necessary!

Oh, of course I agree. Therapy has saved my life, really. It's taken me out of the suicidal despair and depression that nearly destroyed everything I am.
Therapy has been the best way for me to examine my life. It's helpful because I can share who I am and what I really think about myself and things that are going on in my life, and it also challenges me when I'm full of bull. Therapy has supported me and helped me rediscover the parts of myself that were suppressed by years of abuse. By my self-examination and the examination by my therapists, I'm seeing the value in my existence, my reason for being alive and my opportunities to be happier.
When I was an abused child, I never looked at my own life. I just swallowed what I was told, that I was a burden and I made other people miserable and that I should be grateful that I wasn't pitched out on the street. I was miserable and it never even occurred to me to question that.
Sometimes, I think that being ditched might have been better for me--at least I would have avoided some abuse that way. Maybe I would have gotten help sooner. But examination of the psyche is like examination of a sick body or a broken machine--it's the only way to diagnose the problems and find a way to fix them.

I agree with this entirely. A life that has not been self-examined truly is NOT worth living! How are we to be examples for others if we can't learn from ourselves?

I do agree entirely. What is the point of walking through life with your eyes closed tight, too afraid to look inside of yourself, the person in whose skin you reside, for heaven's sake, so scared of phantoms that you go through life a stranger to yourself. I just can't imagine wanting to live my life that way.

I agree. I think life should be examined on a DAILY basis ... at the end of each day, review and critique, and ask if you could have done anything differently, better.

Wouldn’t be hilarious if we all ran around busily doing exactly what we wanted to do without stopping to look back on the things we have done? Makes me giggle to think of that, but then reality settles back in.
Peace :)

C'mon people, this is a homework cheat. Make the boy do his own studying.

I totally agree. You don't really know yourself unless you do.
