In light of recent global events, we have all been reminded just how unpredictable this life is and how it can all be turned upside down in an instant. The message is sobering and allows us to constantly reassess what is important and what is unimportant. Remembering this makes us less likely to waste this life that is so precious and so finite. We aren’t going to be here forever and neither are those that are closest to us. Memento Mori is a reminder that there is an expiry date to all of this. In our own busy lives, we can get caught up in meetings that don’t matter, doing things we don’t want to do and can take our own lives and those of those around us for granted. Literally meaning “Remember You Must Die”, this message at first appears morbid but is in fact one of the most grounding messages that Stoicism has to offer. Memento Mori is one of the key teachings in Stoic Philosophy.
