Unexamined Life

   Today in class we learned what the word "Idiot" meant in ancient Greek. It meant someone who was self-centered and didn't take part in public life. The term "idiot" is used differently now, "a stupid person"  We also ended up discussing how people are drafted into the army, and how they get out of it. We also talked about Jury duty, and how to get out of it. Then we went over all the different ways that people go when given the death sentence: drinking poison, electric chair, and firing squad. Socrates' says; "the examined life is not worth living." meaning that if your doing nothing with your life and your not happy, it's not worth living.
