    This is the only correct comment.

    Memento mori = Remember that you are going to die Carpe diem = Enjoy the day YOLO = enjoy your life, because you only have one and you are going to die

      I always took it the opposite. You only live once so be super careful and don’t do anything dangerous.

      This couldn’t be more incorrect. Memento mori is a call for humility. Carpe diem is a call for purposeful action. YOLO is a “hold my beer” moment preceding a calculated stupidity.

        What if waiting for conditions to be perfect before you come out of your shell is placing too much value on one’s own dignity?
