How Much Will The Insurance Cost?

"From that time on, Felicite thought solely of her nephew. On warm days she feared he would suffer from thirst, and when it stormed, she was afraid he would be struck by lightning." What Felicite is feeling is not something new to our every day lives. We tend to think on "what if's" all the time, and many times we create things which don't really exist. We might miss a person that has gone off in a trip, or maybe we don't want something to happen in a certain way. We do something, or someone else does something, and then we begin to think on what the outcomes of that might be. Will he be coming back? What if he doesn't make it? What if something happens to him and nobody knows about it? All of these questions are common in our way of thinking of things. We imagine all the possible ways in which a situation could end up. Are we trying to be prepared for what is to come? The reality is that there is no way of being a 100% sure that something will turn out in a certain way. We could spend ages trying to prepare for a moment, but there would be no way to be sure that it will happen. There are so many ways in which a situation could end up turning out, that trying to prepare for some things is rather useless.
.
Even though it is true we must prepare for our future, take cautions for what we know will have a big influence in the future, and perform actions that will affect us positively, we must also learn to let some things be. If we were to always be thinking of things we might think will happen or things we don't want to happen, our world would be submerged in an imaginary, chaotic world where we would forget about our present. Letting things be is sometimes the best thing we can do. We don't have control over many of them, so whether we spend our time or not thinking about it, it wont be any different to what is going to happen. When we can influence something, however, then that is the moment we should act and do all we can to change a situation, but when there really is nothing we can do to change something, the best thing we can do is to continue life as it goes, and let that moment come, whatever the outcome may be.
