When couples practice death meditation but disagree on what urgency means

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.

What we've seen

The shared contemplation of mortality is revealing fundamentally different values about how precious time should be used.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with The Stoic meditation on death as time amplifier?”
