Remember our mortality from "summary" of 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari
The concept of remembering our mortality is a fundamental idea that has been present throughout human history. In ancient times, people were constantly faced with the reality of death, whether it be due to wars, diseases, or natural disasters. This awareness of mortality played a crucial role in shaping human behavior and societies. However, in modern times, with the advancement of technology and medicine, the idea of death has become somewhat distant and abstract. Many people today live their lives as if they are invincible, ignoring the fact that death is inevitable and can come at any moment. This detachment from our mortality has had profound implications on how we live our lives and make decisions. By remembering our mortality, we are forced to confront the reality of our existence and the limited time we have on this earth. This awareness can serve as a powerful motivator, pushing us to make the most of our lives and prioritize what truly matters to us. It can help us to let go of trivial concerns and focus on what brings us fulfillment and happiness. Moreover, remembering our mortality can help us to cultivate a sense of gratitude for the time we have been given. It can remind us to cherish our loved ones, appreciate the beauty of the world around us, and make the most of every moment. In a world filled with distractions and noise, the awareness of our mortality can serve as a grounding force, helping us to stay true to ourselves and our values.- Remembering our mortality is not about dwelling on the inevitability of death, but rather about embracing the preciousness of life. It is a reminder to live with intention, purpose, and gratitude, making the most of the time we have been given. By keeping our mortality in mind, we can navigate the complexities of modern life with clarity and wisdom, ensuring that we live a life that is true to ourselves and our values.
