Even [[{{Immortality}} those who do]] may have [[WhoWantsToLiveForever pangs of regret]] because of this trope.

Depending on where we fall on the [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism sliding scale]], we may get a "but not today" rebuttal, or a "but not forever" rebuttal for works that hold to the existence of an afterlife. It may also teach someone that AllAreEqualInDeath: no matter our stations or accomplishments or privileges in life doesn't ultimately matter since eventually we all meet the same fate.

* The oft-quoted Latin phrase ''Memento mori'' (literally, "remember [the fact of] death") is usually translated as "Remember your mortality", "Remember you must die", or "Remember you will die". Its usage [[OlderThanFeudalism dates back to the time of antiquity]]; when a Roman general was given a Triumph (victory parade), a slave was assigned to speak these words to him to remind him that even if at the moment he might be treated like one, the victorious general is not a god, and will die like everyone else some day.
* Invoked by John Maynard Keynes: "In the long run we're all dead." The point of this statement is a reminder that the purpose of an economy is to allocate resources to ''real, living people'' -- failing at this for the sake of the long-term health of the system itself makes the whole thing worthless. In specific, the context was an attack on the phrase "in the long run" when a prediction that something will happen in the "long run" doesn't specify a period of time for it to happen, among other things. The full quote:
-->"In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if, in tempestuous seasons, they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again."
* Stoicism (the school of philosophy, though the practitioners of which would likely be an example of [[TheStoic the trope they named]]) held that sorrow should not be felt for anything not under one's control. Anaxagoras, a Greek Stoic, was told of his only son's death and simply answered, "I was aware that I had begotten a mortal."
* A popular headstone poem reads as such:
--> ''Remember me as you pass by,''
--> ''As you are now, so once was I,''
--> ''As I am now, so you will be,''
--> ''Prepare for death and follow me.''
