There are only two things to worry about:
Either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about.
But if you are sick ,there are two things to worry about:
Either you get well, or you will die.
If you well, there is nothing to worry about.
If you die, there are only two things to worry about:
Either you will go to heaven or hell.
If you go to heaven ,there is nothing to worry about.
But if you go to hell, you will be so damn busy shaking hands with friends, you won't have time to worry.
