The Importance of Remembering Death

Remembering death each day can make our lives richer, fuller, and happier. Stoicism teaches us to be aware of death and embrace the concept of memento mori (remember death). By accepting our mortality and realizing that every day could be our last, we can appreciate the present and find contentment. This practice helps us live more urgently, prioritize what matters, and not waste time on trivial matters that won't be remembered in the long run.
