The skull is a powerful symbol that serves as a reminder of the preciousness of life and the importance of living in the present moment. Memento mori is a powerful concept that has been embraced by the Stoics, who believed that by constantly reminding ourselves of our mortality, we can live our lives more fully and appreciate the time we have.

The Stoics believed that by embracing the concept of memento mori, we can learn to detach ourselves from the fleeting pleasures of life and focus on what is truly important. They believed that by accepting our own mortality, we can develop a sense of inner peace and find true fulfillment in life.
