FOR EVERY AILMENT UNDER THE SUN

An old Mother Goose rhyme speaks to pain, problem and the anxiety it causes.
“For every ailment under the sun, there is a remedy or there is none; if there be one, try to find it; if there be none, never mind it.”


The great French philosopher, Montaigne, speaking to both the ryhme and life wrote "My life has been full of terrible misfortunes, most of which never happened.”

The Apostle Paul who was no stranger to troubles wrote, “Forget those things which are behind you and press forward to those things which are before.”

In short, there is nothing more foolish than to go through life dragging our fears behind us. Not learning from them but rather being paralyzed by them.

We either make yesterday a teacher or it becomes a tyrant.

Somewhere between the bum who never things about tomorrow and the ulcer-ridden executive who does nothing else is a balance.

Everyone of us has sought and are still seeking a better way to live and a braver way to die. Some do a better job than others but nevertheless a stumble is better than no step at all.

What to do to make things better? Well, in the weeks that follow i will have one theme that continues to arise...and that is...while we cannot always control what happens we can control how we handle the happenings.
