Memento mori | Jordan Peterson

[@thewise3551]

The mans a genius. Momento Mori a Stoic philosphy. I read two Marcus Aurelius quotes and they changed my life instantly. "We suffer more in imagination than in reality" "Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions - not outside" Marcus Aurelius

[@RandomGuy-qn2ub]

I got them tatted on my arms.

[@hangoc5572]

The first quote is from Seneca btw, another great stoic of the past

[@rustyshackleford9017]

bruh its instant ability to take a deep breath

[@Josuegurrola]

I stopped painting and building pieces when realised I would not enjoy them forever ... moreover when I knew no one aorund me would be as caring as me and lastly they will fall in wicked hands. . Sorry for my ramblings. ... Recently I came to the conclusion, I paint because it nakes me happy, no other reason for it. Life is like that.

[@bondalemecovillage6738]

Memento Mori once understood and grasped in one's everyday thoughts, keeps one grounded and humble....

[@50shekels]

Not humble, focused

[@vincentdimitri169]

Life is a game you get to play once, so play it to the best of your ability and give it 100% every day to the point where you go to bed exhausted.

[@juliestewart5707]

Three minutes, 39 seconds and you’ll replay it in your head on and off for a week. And after the exhausting, exhilarating experience, you’ll relisten to it with the hope (or vanity?) that you’ve understood…perfectly heavy. And it’s FREE?! Just tune in…we are lucky to live on the same planet with Dr. Peterson.

[@DUXRZ]

memento mori is tatted on my chest right in the center as a daily reminder to myself. i don’t regret it at all.

[@seniorpeor1370]

Lol same, but under my collar bone. My second ever tattoo because of how important it is to me.

[@manel4475]

I have it tattooed on my right arm as a simple reminder. Same, no regrets.

Dr. Peterson comes off so passionate because he has gone through it himself thatd why he is always reaching out

[@unitedwithbritian]

"Not happy with the part you played in generating your own misery" Thats hilarious, classic. Dr. Peterson is great!!

[@modernlunacy4341]

I am on the path of revenge. The majority of my life consists of suffering. I've came close to escaping constant misery a few times, but I can only blame me and my self-destructive nature for ruining what I consider progress. Memento Mori has helped me find humor and acceptance in this ridiculous game that we are all forced to play. At least I am still willing to play.....

[@conorsaintlouis9790]

Went to school for art. Momento mori is something ill never forget. You can find it everywhere

[@MrArthoz]

Memento mori philosophy is trying to find ground or reason to exist upon this world. It is all just an idea how we try to place logical understanding of our perception of this world. I follow another truth. “THERE IS NO JUSTICE" said Death "JUST ME” ― Terry Pratchett Death is the ultimate truth. The one thing beyond all argument that is undeniable. Even the stars themselves would one day blink away. I am on my path in life...it is a long walk, stroll, jogging, running...no matter what manner I move, I will always be on that path going forward and never turning back. Death will be there...perhaps it is the end, oblivion and nothing more...perhaps just another check point to evolve into another form of existence...who knows. You may change your path: the long winding one, a rocky path, into razor thorn, a scenic park or just a short trip...but in the end nothing is eternal, we will all meet Death. Will you greet him as a long awaited friend? Or struggle, quarrel, fight and deny like an irreconcilable adversary? All our life we have done so much: love, accomplishments, successes, failures, hatred, envy, jealousy, friendship, enemies, bad health, sickness, etc...upon death, does it matter? All your wealth, power, greatness, fame...upon death, is worth it? Will you die with regret and unwillingness to let go, grudging of endless desire or unfinished business or unfulfilled dreams? Worrying of those whom we leave behind and of loved ones we wish not to let go? Or will you go with happiness and smile at Death, our long awaiting friend...telling him "it was a life well lived" and joyfully continue beyond be it oblivion or eternity?

[@mindfulkayaker7737]

Exactly the same as the concept of impermanence in Buddhism

Jordan can you get Ryan Holiday in your show next time?

[@ApostolosKatsioulas]

You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.

[@stevennguyen4993]

I remember the concept from Lemony Snicket's "Series of Unfortunate Events". "Remember that you MUST die."

[@dmtdreamz7706]

Just sit there to contemplate it all after you come back because you're gonna see such crazy and radical things in these trips. That when you come back you're gonna be like what the fuck was that? And you're gonna spend a week just in the shower, what the fuck was that? Cooking your food, what the fuck was that? Driving to work, what the fuck was that? Sitting at work doing your work, what the fuck was that? Thinking that. Trying to wrap your mind around it. Try to remember and trying to figure it out and that's a very valuable process. 😂

I want to grab a beer and go on a stage like that and mumble my thoughts out!

[@Overtheocean1]

If you think that live is trouble, you are trouble. Haha

[@jasoncoker1625]

Yes😌

[@mn5499]

I have a ring with momento Mortis on it, it sets in place my priority’s.

[@bhatkat]

Stoic visualization. My technique being to imagine I am flying a wing suit directly into the lava fountain of an erupting volcano. And it works quit well indeed, now have virtually no apprehension about that terminal transition down the road.

[@ronsrg5]

I carry a coin that’s says memento mori on one side and memento vivere on the other.

[@Potencyfunction]

It is remember to die . memento is the moment which refers to live your life and mori=die. Is the same spelling in my own language.

[@jameswatt7249]

Thankyou

[@adrianb8908]

We are all lined up in the same line every age and colour never knowing where in the cue we are but always knowing but offen forgetting it's the finite element the consciousness the deadline that makes life special and a curse Or maybe it's like Watts said you're the joke and the joker.

[@monikapul]

So basically ... I new you were trouble when you walked in 😅

[@kenzi.h]

The way he explains it is so confusing!!!

[@matthewclaypool5225]

Everything he said is right, but be honest. How many people are here because of Unus Annus.
