Memento mori (Latin: "remember (that you have) to die"[2]) is the medieval Latin theory and practice of reflection on mortality, especially as a means of considering the vanity of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits. It is related to the ars moriendi ("The Art of Dying") and related literature. Memento mori
has been an important part of ascetic disciplines as a means of
perfecting the character, by cultivating detachment and other virtues,
and turning the attention towards the immortality of the soul and the
afterlife. yes, how sad...but life's end is dying. so let's enjoy life while we can. let's smile more while we could. let's love Jesus always by helping each other and not hurting each other. in other words as time ticks away, life ticks away as well...as we who believe in heavens it meant that it does shorten the time that we will see God and all our dearly departed and beloved relatives and friends.
how will it end...
in the beginning it starts with a cry
with lots and lots of laughter in between
as we grow and grow older everyday
then it ends with the sunset in the west
it dims
till we can't open our eyes anymore
as we drift in eternal repose
with God our heavenly Father by our side
with our departed love ones to welcome us by...
see.. dying is not bad after all.
it is just sadness at first glance
but it will be happiness at last...
