Cheerful one today… we're talking about death - and why avoiding it quietly destroys meaning.

Modern culture is weirdly death-phobic: we hide the elderly, sanitise grief, and obsess over staying youthful. But every major tradition (Stoicism, Buddhism, existential philosophy) keeps coming back to one message: remember death - and you'll live better. I explores why contemplating mortality gives you perspective, clarifies your values, and pushes you towards what actually matters: relationships, contribution, and living with integrity. I also share a range of death meditations, from gentle (graveyard walks, simple reflections) to more intense practices - with clear warnings on when not to do them. Disclaimer: ⚠️ If you're currently depressed, recently bereaved, or feeling emotionally fragile, this isn't the one for today. And after watching: don't make big decisions - go do something life-affirming.
