Analysis of Memento Mori
He asked the sky what he did to deserved to die
And before him stood Death
Death looked down on the man and said
Memento Mori.
The man looked at Death with confusion
What do you mean?
Death said
Remember that you have to die in order to live, you should not be sad that you passed away because most people don't even make it to the end of there life fully. Some take their lives and end up somewhere no better then where they were.
The man asked Death what the meaning of life is and Death said you lived it so you tell me.
