I had an immense advantage over many others dealing with the
problem inasmuch as I had no fixed ideas derived from
long-established practice to control and bias my mind, and did not
suffer from the general belief that whatever is, is right.

WHY WORRY?
There are only
two things to worry about:
-Either you
are well or you are sick.
If you are
well, there's nothing to worry about,
But if you are
sick,
There are two
things to worry about:
-Either you
get well or you die.
If you get
well, there's nothing to worry about,
But if you
die,
There are only
two things to worry about:
-Either you
go to heaven or you go to hell.
If you go to
heaven, there's nothing to worry about,
But if you go
to hell,
-You'll be
so busy shaking hands with friends,
you won't have
time to worry.
