P.S.:

*** I have to add some correction:

looking into the “memento mori” I found out, unlike I wrote in my first comment: in former times there weren’t the words “memento mori” written e.g. on clock faces, but there were symbols or allegories referring to the death, what was called a “memento mori”.

But I like these new words on my clock

Positively I could express it as “carpe diem” (seize the day).
Though it doesn’t mean exactly the same (it doesn’t provide so deeply the reason….).

… and I will seriously think not only about conclusions but also about concrete consequences!

Oh yes! Thinking about death may be thinking about life!

I did it: I fixed the words “memento mori” on one of my clocks (the one near my working table….).

It will remind me about living “today”!

My conclusions?
Well, mainly that we have to do more with our lives than just go through the motions assuming that we can put things off and do them in the future. We may not have a future to do them.

In former times there were clocks with the words written on its face:
“memento mori”
(latin; = commemorate death)

To think about it is the one thing.

But what would be your conclusions?!
