Is there a better alternative to "carpe diem" (seize the day) and "memento mori" (remember that you are mortal)?

vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas

Nope. People use YOLO to justify being a vacuous party animal that just thinks about drinking and fucking and not actually doing anything.

If people said this and then went out and did something of substance then I'd actually take it seriously. As of now it's an excuse to slack off and horse around, despite the fact that there's only one life should mean they should be MORE serious about life, since they have one chance. If you believed in reincarnation you could fuck off all you wanted because you'd have another chance after that for eternity.

I- what? Seizing the moment is all about hedonism though.

>> No.3084066

>>3084065

No, it's not. It's about making the best out of the day, and ultimately your own life. To find actual fulfillment and to make a mark on those around you, and hopefully the world. To do the biggest and greatest things you can possibly do.

If you're talking of classical Greek hedonism, then that's fine. That idea is actually a good one. If we're talking about modern hedonism then you could not be more wrong. And, yes, there is a difference between classical hedonism and modern ideas on hedonism.

Stoics did some exercises in contemplating their deaths, which is sort of YOLO. "Carpe" means pluck, and so carpe diem is a farming metaphor about plucking the day when it's ripe (rather than letting it wither). I do like vanitas vanitatum.
