How to understand Socrates' famous saying "A life without examination is not worth living"

The correct translation is "examination", not "inspection". The "examined" life mentioned here means that we must reflect on our lives at all times and understand the meaning of our lives. A meaningless life is worthless, so a valuable life is indispensable. Reflection and introspection, only by constantly examining your own life, will such a life have meaning and value, and be worth living.

Don’t be a vain person, because this will make you lose yourself. Don’t lose your courage, because such a life will be very, very incomplete. We don’t need a perfect life, we just hope it won’t be too perfect. What a pity and remorse. We must not lose confidence, because that will lose the motivation to move forward in life. Don't lose our innocence of believing in the light and beauty, otherwise our life will be full of darkness, and we can't see the direction of progress clearly, and we can't even see ourselves clearly. Of course, don’t lose yourself. People who don’t even try to control themselves are as scary as losing their minds.
