My partner and I started doing memento mori meditation together after reading about Stoic practices, but now we're stuck in this weird loop where we both feel like we're supposed to be more grateful and present, yet we keep using the 'life is short' reminder to justify completely opposite decisions about how we spend our time.
More people experience this than they realize.
The shared contemplation of mortality is revealing fundamentally different values about how precious time should be used.
