IllustrationQuote★★★★
Anxiety is the poison of human life. It is the parent of many sins, and of more miseries. In a world where everything is doubtful, where you may be disappointed, and be blessed in disappointment—what means this restless stir and commotion of mind? Can your solicitude alter the cause or unravel the intricacy of human events? Can your curiosity pierce through the cloud which the Supreme Being hath made impenetrable to mortal eye? To provide against every important danger, by the employment of the most promising means, is the office of wisdom : but at this point wisdom stops.
Dr. Blair.
The point
Anxiety is harmful and futile; wisdom involves preparing for real dangers but accepting uncertainty beyond our control.
