As a new week begins, we present this courtesy to the team at the Daily Stoic:
PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
"Seneca tells the story of coming upon some old and dying trees at his country estate, only to suddenly realize…he had planted them himself. Life sneaks up on us this way…and in that way, so does death. Which is why we practice memento mori. It’s not morbid. It’s helpful. What’s morbid is dying having wasted your brief time on this planet. We meditate on our mortality so we can use this incredible asset we have been given. So we take nothing for granted. So we are present. So we fully enjoy the moments we walk in those shoes, so we grow while our hair is growing, so we can appreciate even the mundane task of trimming our nails. Let this be a reminder!"
