Worries kill more Men than Wars !
1 18/3/14
We hardly observe the patients around us ,
particularly when we visit our sick
relatives kept in the Hospitals, the
patients in the wards around, the patients who comr to consult the doctors for
their illness. Worry, anxiety are silent killers , diabetes and high B.P. come
next. Have you ever seen a man of 75 Kg
weight, losing 17 Kgs within a short
span of time ? Not for luxury or for reducing weight but by remaining under
constant terror of worry and anxiety ?
Carnegie has
adduced a case of one Ted Bengermino of
Baltimore , Maryland, USA . He went on worrying so intensely that he lost 17
Kgs weight , was reduced to skin and
bones He went on worrying about the course of the war, his family,the hardships
of other soldiers etc. Ultimately he was shifted to Army Hospital , studying
his case, the doctor said: “ I want you to think of your life as an hour glass. You know there are
thousands of grains of sand in the top
of the hour glass and they pass slowly and evenly ythrough the narrow
neck in the middle.You or I cannot make
more than one grain of sand
pass through thius narrow neck without damaging the hour glass. You , and
I and all others are like this
hourglass. When we start in the morning
there are hundreds of tasks ,
which we feel, we must accomplish before the day is over, but if we do not take
one ( task) at a time and let them pass through slowly and evenly ,
as do the grains of sand, passing through the narrow neck of the hourglass,
then we are bound to break our own physical or mental structure. “
Then let us
learn a lesson from above case , and that should be, “ One grain of sand at a
time , one task at a time “
Many great
men and thinkers have expressed
important ideas on such cases:
“ When I look
back on all these worries,I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he
had had a lot of trouble in his life, of
which never happened. “--- Winston
Churchill, Wartime Prime Minister of England
