Focus on quality over quantity of life

In today's episode, the focus is on the importance of living a good life rather than simply aiming for a longer one. While advances in medicine and technology have allowed us to live longer, it is essential to reflect on the quality of our lives. Stoicism teaches us to embrace the idea of momento mori, to remember that life is unpredictable and we should not take our time for granted. Regardless of how long we live, it is crucial to strive for a life that we can be proud of, treating others well and making a positive impact on the world.
