“Life has more meaning in the face of death.”Robert Greene
In modern life, understanding that our time is limited can inspire us to live with purpose and focus on what truly matters. Just like how knowing that a vacation will end motivates us to make the most of every moment, the awareness of our mortality can encourage us to prioritize our goals and relationships to lead a more fulfilling life.
So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12 reminds us to number our days, gaining a heart of wisdom. This aligns with the Stoic wisdom as understanding the limited nature of life can lead to a wiser and more intentional way of living, focusing on what truly matters and not taking time for granted.
