Nothing beats Memento Mori theme

Hermansen :

With anti-aging research we might be the generation that finally defeats Death.

Seb y Fito :

I'm thinking about Mexican culture. Our primordial source culture, mesoamerican, is a culture where death as a concept was far more omnipresent than in Europe... Yet it was less dreadful. Then Europeans came with their dread about death and found a culture where death was seen as the most natural thing in the world... That's how you got the Day of the Dead

𓄃 :

Do Chinese believe in reincarnation? Or that there is some sort of eternal life after death? or maybe like nothing at all?

Global North :

In a famous essay, Seneca points out that life is long ENOUGH, if you don't waste time.

Joky :

memento mori

user3375944985531 :

this is a fascinating contrast.

artoomi000 :

I love these insights but this time there is a misunderstanding. For a very long time in the west death was not the end and life on earth just a school to know oneself and learn to love. Focussing only on the school as all that counts is missing the bigger picture.

zurichsocial :

Ha, interesting take, never realized that about chinese art. It does make sense, seeing the connection with Buddhism, and the focus on being present.

Tessa Fey Burton :

No one is yet teaching how to be reborn properly…and how to live in a way that fulfills your soul, then how to die and release it all with ease.

ArnoldSig :

This was great thanks

Pierre Franklynn🔥🦊フウリン🎐 :

I disagree with this idea. Dead is the fear the most, the choice to face it or inorge it with Smile?! Your heart knows the answer

Sharnette Grandison :

Chinese lifestyle is just about living a good life which makes them alot happier in life.

Puben Govender :

👏👏👏✅.....made my day

Stajemojeime :

The life is too long to do nothing and too short to do anything.

Robespierre Kornblume :

Plenty of death related art in ancient China. The expression is a bit different

Ling's Kitchen :

RA-MONA121500 :

The richness of diversity is the possibility of studying multiple realities of the same idea! Maybe both are right, maybe both are wrong!

RA-MONA121500 :

I think for someone who loves life, this will seem like a moment!
