About this book
Why Worry? is by George Lincoln Walton, M.D., named as Consulting Neurologist To The Massachusetts General Hospital. A saying credited to Chwang Tsze runs: the legs of the stork are long, the legs of the duck are short; you cannot make the legs of the stork short, neither can you make the legs of the duck long.
The text says the special aim will be to pay attention to the different varieties of worry, and to offer easily understood and commonplace suggestions which any one may practice daily and continuously. The text says that in dealing with others the following suggestion of Marcus Aurelius may come in play: when a man has done thee any wrong, immediately consider with what opinion about good or evil he has done wrong. The text mentions a friend, Dr. Maurice Richardson, who carries, as the writer believes, Epictetus in his bag, and who said he always drew consolation from the old farmer’s observation: Mebbe ’taint so!
