What is the response to memento mori?
Memento mori engendered an opposite imperative -- memento vivere -- the Latin for "remember that you must live." Less common and of more recent vintage (according to the Oxford English Dictionary), memento vivere seems to imply that a preoccupation with death is perhaps unwise and unhealthy.
