Hi bemyself.
Interesting. I first studied Plato and Socrates (as well as a few others) in high school, and was so taken by it that I went on to major in philosophy. Yes, "the unexamined life is not worth living." Before I even knew what the word 'resonate' meant, Socrates' words resonated deeply within me. I should have known right then and there that I was in trouble.
You wrote some very nice things, and I appreciate that. I also appreciate your willingness to help and offer support.
Personally, I've learned much more in life through suffering, mine and other people's, than through anything else. Sometimes I just don't want any more (what my therapist called) FLEs -- effing learning experiences. Right now, I'd rather be happy in my stupidity.
