Memento Mori “Remember You Die” Day
Memento Mori “Remember You Die” Day, observed on January 3 every year, is one of the few days we celebrate life through looming death. The subject of life and death is not something many people want to talk about, but that makes this day so meaningful. It forces people to come out of their comfort zones, think about their time on the earth and what’s left of it, and consider making a change to be more hands-on with their future. It can be argued that we are only truly living life as soon as we realize that it is fleeting, and through this concept, we start living with direction and drive.
