My friend and I started a weekly practice where we spend Sunday mornings contemplating mortality to help us live more purposefully, but lately it feels like we're competing over who's more enlightened about death or who's making more 'meaningful' life changes, and it's getting weird.
More people experience this than they realize.
Shared contemplation of mortality has devolved into performance of who can demonstrate better acceptance or life prioritization.
“Where Are You with The Stoic meditation on death as time amplifier?”
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
