Today’s Stoic thought was “memento vivere”: remember to live. I took it to heart, ignored the rain, realised I could have an outing, with Deb home to deal with Sasha and the plumber, and took off to the Ngā Manu Reserve in Waikanae. I even got to drive on the new Expressway.
Arnold Hoogerwerf Beautiful mantra, and what a great spirit to start your day with! Memento Mori and Memento Vivere seem to be two sides of the same coin, yet most Stoic thinking tends to focus on the Mori part. Would love to get suggestions on reading more on Memento Vivere…
Miraz Jordan @ArnoldHoogerwerf I didn't note down where I first saw it, but my browser history tells me I read this page: Remember to Live; Your Time is Limited. I'm working my way through the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius.
