Monument

I came across this quote by Cato from the dailystoic page on Instagram:

"After I'm dead, I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one"

I thought it's a great quote! And yes I'd rather have no monument too haha. In fact when I die I don't even want a tomb. I want to be cremated and have my ashes thrown to the sea. I want to be part of the universe again! This planet becomes my tomb and I'll be "everywhere". I'll be the clouds, the seawater and perhaps the nutrients that will seep inside a tree. And so on and so forth.

Wouldn't it be tiring to still be part of the living, and the worldly world after we leave?
