the unexamined life is not worth living

Imagine a cubicle, an office space of boredom, but this is the life you continue to live.
365 days a year, for the past 5 years, same space, smae copy machine. your life has been left unexamined. You have lived day in and day out, in a constant rotation and scheudle.
is this all you ever imagined for yourself, is this really your dream?

Leading an unexamined life is not worth living. you make the same constant mistakes.
do you ever look back and think about your actions, your experiences?
do you sit and learn nothing?
this life you lead is lame, and boring.

it says something when you can look back and take a mistake or an experience, and have emotions over it and for it. to live life without thinking about what you are doing can and may be freeing, but ultimately will leave you entangled in a lie or a mess, its chaos.

examining life is necessary to living the life you want.
to take instance and perfect them, to mold them.

as an artist, i am constantly examining my life.
and sometimes even overanalyzing.

and at the same time i overanalyze my art, thats the only to make it better
if ic onstantly created the same piiece i would stay dissatisfied.
unsatisfied. because i would be in a rut.

the only way to make somtheing better or to better understand is to ask questions and question what you have been told and what you have done.

how can you make something better if you never look at it and ask questions.
