It is not at the first attempt to relax, or the second, or the ninth, that the worry will disappear for many of us, and especially for worriers. It takes many hours to learn what relaxing is; but having once learned, its helpful power is too evident for us not to keep at it, if we really desire to gain our freedom.
Such worriers always seem to prefer to look on the dark side of the unknown rather than on the bright side. "Think no evil!" is good philosophy to apply to everything, as well as genuine religion when put into practice. The world is in the control of the Powers of Good, and these seek our good, not our disaster.
The condemnation of faults is rarely constructive. We had better say to the worriers, "Here is life; no matter what unfortunate things you may have said or done, you must put all evil behind you and live simply, bravely, well." The greater the evil, the greater the need of forgetting. Not flippantly, but reverently, leave your misdeeds in a limbo where they may not rise to haunt you.
The nearest I ever came to it was to ask the light of my life for ninety-several if she would wear my frat pin forever and ever until next fall. And, let me tell you, there wasn't any local of the Handholders' Union on the Siwash Campus. That's another place where you soubrette worriers have us figured out wrong.
Bull-baiters, cock-fighters, and dog worriers, turned officers, had no idea of conquering the Americans, but by "cutting their throats or knocking out their brains;" or as the tender-hearted Cornwallis commanded, by "hanging them, and taking away, or destroying their goods."
The acidity irritates the nervous system and the irritation in time causes mental depression. Confirmed worriers will worry about the weather, the past, the present, the future, about work and about play, about food, clothing and drink, about those who are present and those who are absent. Nothing escapes them and they bring sadness and woe in their wake. Worrying is slow suicide.
The housewife especially is one of these worriers, and her mind has an affinity for the terrible. I have described her elsewhere, but she has her prototype among men. "The Nervous Housewife." Fear of this type is an injury to the body and character both and is one of the causes and effects of the widespread neurasthenia of our day.
'Powerful fast rams, sea-worthy and fit for running over shallows, carrying one big gun; swarms of harryers and worriers known to be kept ready for immediate service; readiness for the offensive in case of war there's the best defence against a declaration of war by a foreign State. 'I like to hear you, Nevil, said Cecilia, beaming: 'Papa thinks we have a miserable army in numbers.
