Stoic Concept
Memento Mori
The ancient practice of reflection on mortality.
Memento Mori, translating to 'Remember you must die,' is not a morbid obsession but a tool for cultivating purpose and clarity. By keeping the finite nature of life in mind, Stoics aimed to strip away trivialities, prioritize what truly matters, and live each day with intention, virtue, and gratitude. It transforms death from a source of fear into a wellspring of meaning.
