What does Carpe Diem mean? It translates to "Seize the day" and is "To enjoy the present and not worry about the future; to live in the moment" a good description of the concept?
Also, "Amore Ferus" which can be translated to "Fiery Love.", is "A negative nature of the physical love, reference to passionate, rough sex".
These descriptions were posed to me by someone else, and I don't see how Carpe Diem involves not caring about the future and Amor Ferus involves rough sex.

"Carpe Diem" was a motto especially significant to the Baroque. It was accompanied by the just as well known "Memento Mori", meaning "remember death", or, more to the point, "remember that you will die".
Hence, Carpe Diem is in fact not about forgetting the future. It is very much about making the most out of each day, because time in earth is limited.
This concept is often called "Vanitas". (At least in church Latin.)
In Baroque painting, skulls and hourglasses often appear as its symbols.

"Carpe diem" instructs us that the day should be plucked (a better translation of carpe than to seize). To not worry about the future is actually an interpretation of what immediately follows in the phrase: "Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero".
I'm not as familiar with "Amor ferus" but it looks like it's more about feral than fiery love.
