Momento Mori

Posted by Typicalanonymous - May 5th, 2011


Just discovered this Latin phrase that translates to "Remember you must die." I like it, and this is my new favorite saying. (word, phrase, idk)

Momento Mori


Comments

a tad morbid...I had one I liked better
it sounded super official and intense like that one
but it translated to something incredibly immature
learned it in 5th grade english class
we had this book titled something like latin for the modern world
(i.e. my boss is such and asshole, wanna go grab a drink, Hey! use your turn signal buddy)

Well if you look at it a certain way, it can be sorta cheerful. Another meaning for it is "remember your mortality," which could be understood as don't screw up your life or make bad decisions, because you are mortal, and only have one chance.

And since latin is a dead language, and is only used for cool sayings, scientific names, and stems, I don't see the point for latin in the "modern world." Eh, whatever, it can make you look cool cause no one would know what you're saying. =P

yeah, the book was meant to be a joke, i found it quite amusing really
you seem to be getting progressivly less anonymous by the way...

Well hey. You don't where I live, (specifically) you don't know my full name, and you cannot trace this account back to me. That's anonymous in my eyes. =P And actually, in my opinion, anonymity creates assholes. Not always, but people feel that if they cannot be held responsible, they can do whatever the hell they want. I think anonymity also creates courage, but some people take it too far.

I edited a thesis on this very topic once...long story
and sure I could...I could like track down your IP address a la CSI
fortunatly for you I don't actually have any crime scene investigators or officials at NCIS or anything at my beck and call
...yet

Lol, yet. Well, tell me when you do. There's this really irritating troll on youtube that keeps following me around. I want to know who he/she is so I can see what kind of person they are in real life.
