Take a few minutes to answer the following question:
"Memento mori."
What do you think about when reading that phrase?
I have answered the same question twice.
"Life is a gift given to us so that we can appreciate every moment of it. We do not know when our last day of life will be, for this reason I live my life fully, I try to perceive the positive side of situations and I focus on realizing what I am passionate about. When we die, only the pleasant memories will accompany us. This is the path we all have to walk. This is my life, I decide how to live it."
"Life is a temporary gift that has been given to us. It all comes to an end sooner or later. What good is so much effort if in the end we will all end up the same way? It is an inevitable reality, we don't know when our last day of life will be. I don't want to waste my time anymore. I don't think it's a problem to want to go out of the way to take a shortcut towards the end of this journey. After all, this is my life... I decide what to do with it."
The answers can vary according to each person's perspective. What was your response?
