Consciousness

Greek philosopher Socrates said that an unconscious life is not worth living. How can a life be "unconscious" if you believe you are totally conscious, i.e. aware of who you are and of what you do.? But... are you sure that you know your true nature - beyond what you "appear" to be - and that you also know the reason, the substance, the consequences of your daily actions? If you try to answer such fundamental questions, you will realize that - maybe - you should not be too "certain". A wise individual is full of doubts, never certitudes. Why? Because Life (who you truly are) is a mystery that needs to be discovered day by day. Only its understanding can provide you with the hope of a better existence.
