Socrates said "The unexamined life is not worth living," but he must have faced an entirely different social order than we do. The introduction of leisure time in the development of culture is relatively new, and allows us to endlessly examine our own navels. Some argue that this has become less interesting, but the human condition should be considered fascinating, and any continuing curiosity in our adult lives is surely a good thing.
