Comment on "YOLO" and "Memento Mori" mean pretty much the same thing
Hope@lemmy.world 5 months agoI think they meant what they said. “Remember that you will die” does mean something similar to “you only live once.”

It does if you remove it from its context where they used it more like “you should be humble, you’ll die like everyone else”, carpe diem was used more similarly to yolo

Carpe diem is a call to action - to not fritter your life away on inconsequential things. YOLO is a polite way to say “fuck it”.

I said more similar, as in more than memento mori
