Why Worry?

I want to share a joke I learned from my dad.

Why worry?
You're either healthy or you're sick. If you're healthy, you have nothing to worry about.
If you're sick, you either get better, or you die. If you get better, there's nothing to worry about.
If you die, you either go to heaven or you go to hell. If you go to heaven, you have nothing to worry about.
If you go to hell, you're going to be too busy shaking hands with all your friends. So why worry?

Sometimes we make situations too complex in our minds. And admittedly, life really can be quite complicated, but not all of the nuances necessarily matter. Sometimes, if you're sick, you either get better or you die.

A character who simplifies to this degree can cut through a lot of bullshit. A character who does it all the time will end up creating a whole host of bullshit of their very own.
