Memento Mori-an interesting concept

I recently came across this word memento Mori while reading a blog post on stoicism.

So what is momento mori ?

Momento mori is a Latin Christian theory and practice of reflection on mortality as a means of finding vanity of life and its other aspects that help us acknowledge the transitory nature of earthly aspects. I find this theory quite interesting .In a layman's language it is basically remembering that you will die (too).I know many of us will wonder that what is so special in this theory we all know that we all gonna die eventually but as a matter of fact if we deeply ponder on this we will eventually learn to enjoy life and unlearn the habit of fear and worry. It will cultivate dettachment in us towards the jealousy, anger ,hate and other emotions which we tend to clinch too much that we forget to enjoy life .I know that these emotions are a part of life but we tend to forget that they are a part of life not life itself .Life is beyond all this Petty pursuits .Memento Mori help us acknowledge the fact that everything is transitory even our own existence of being. So stop taking yourself too seriously .

People have a misconception regarding this theory that it means life has no meaning but it basically means that we shouldn't just run blindy into the rat race of life forgetting the true essence of life .

The thing which will not matter to you 5 years from now don't stress too much on that and definitely don't destroy your present for that.
