Memento mori is Latin. It means “Remember you have to die.” It was used by the Christian Church of the Middle Ages to remind parishioners that the temptations to sin during your stay on Earth will, in time, catch up with you. You will meet your maker, and the lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride you got up to here on Earth will not seem worth it. But for those of us who do not think there is a piper to be paid, or at least have different definitions of what makes right and wrong, we must still memento mori.
