Reader thinks “unexamined life is well worth living”

A READER WRITES: “You quoted Socrates as saying that ‘the unexamined life is not worth living’. Well I don’t examine my life at all, and personally I feel it is well worth living, thank you very much if you don’t mind all the same.”
BB SAYS: Good for you. But in order to have come to the conclusion that your life is worth living, then surely you must have first examined it in some sense, no?
