      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Socrates, so they say, once said: “The unexamined life is not worth living”. Ever since I first read this, I&#39;ve been thinking about this and wondering: is it so? And if so, what does examination mean?&#xA;&#xA;I could just go and read the – presumably – tomes that have been written by people far more qualified than me, and in the course pick an explanation that suits me best.&#xA;&#xA;But to me, writing about it instead feels a lot more like self-examination than doing the above.&#xA;&#xA;So what does it mean? I suppose it means introspection, but in a sense that lets you derive some meaning and growth from it. Which this post might do, or it might not.&#xA;&#xA;I haven&#39;t decided just yet.&#xA;]]&gt;</description>
