The Two Things You Should Worry About

There is one Irish proverb saying that one should worry about only two things in life – whether you’re healthy or whether you’re ill. If you’re in good health, there’s nothing to worry about. If you’re sick, there are two things to worry about – whether you will get better or whether you will die. If you get better, you will not have to worry about anything. If you die, you have two things to worry about – whether you will go to Paradise or to Hell. If you go to Paradise, there is nothing to worry about.  But if you happen to go to Hell, you will be so busy shaking hands with all your friends and you will have no time to worry about anything. 🙂
