"Carpe diem" is a Latin phrase that literally means "harvest the day, it also means enjoying the day, was coined by the Roman poet Horace (Odes, 11.8).
We have seen the parallels between the Stoic position to the present and the "carpe diem" Latino. According to the Stoics, and taking the text of Seneca "In the brevity of life," the two evils that weigh about human existence, both brakes that block us from living fully in the present, is the nostalgia and hope, this is The attachment to the past (with his remorse) and concern for the future (which are part of future projects.)
This idea is reflected in the movie "Dead Poets Society" when the teacher says:
"... today is not repeated. Live every moment intensely, it does not mean crazy, but treating each situation, listening to each partner, trying to make every dream positive, seeking each other's success, the fundamental subject examinándote: Love for one day regret not having wasted selfishly your capacity to love and give life. "
"To use the time virgins' Gather
roses while ye may
Veloz time flies
The same flower that today will be dead tomorrow
