To value living an "examined life" assumes that "the truth lies within each of us".

In my opinion living an examined life has diverse implications for every person:

For Cicero the examined life was an existence established in honesty and serving people in general.

For Socrates the examined life was the achievement of shrewdness and scholarly quietude.

For Fyodor Dostoyevsky the examined life implied the flexibility of the human spirit against malicious, torment, hardship and wretchedness.

For Seneca the examined life was to have an important objective and endeavor to consummate one's character.
